[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every club should have one and only one travel team for each age group all the ones who get cut should play in the clubs rec program comprised of B team thru D team. [/quote]

This doesn't make any sense. Kids do travel at age 8, 9, 10, 11 to LEARN from the professional coaches. Are you pretending you can tell at U9 who will be the star at U15? Because you can't. [/quote]

Maybe you have 1or 2 travel teams and the remaining go into a development internal academy style with inter squad games. Even 2 weeks you select the 2 teams from the academy pool. In this scenario only the top kids represent for the club and kids have an incentive to continue to improve every week to make the team. I think it becomes more of a glorified rec game when we schedule games and set teams 1-4 for each age for a season. It just becomes a participation event to appease parents. [/quote]

do you think at U10 anyone will be willing to pay for training and inter squad games? [/quote]

That shows thats its more about the parents and not the development of the kids. All of these games being played every weekend by c and d level teams are terrible to watch and bring down the value of your top teams. Let the academy pool train together and let the best 30 players represent your clubs in 2 teams each week. Whats wrong with the idea of the best representing your club and everyone being able to train with each other to compete for those weekly spots.[/quote]

B/c it doesn't develop any chemistry.  Soccer isn't an individual sport.  For the team and players to excel and grow, they need to know their teammates' tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses.  That comes from playing together (practice and games).   [/quote]
