[quote=Anonymous][quote=RantingSoccerDad][quote=Anonymous]^^ Making a DA team at U13/14 from a Classic team was never really the PPs argument. They simply said A/B travel team. Now if you are implying that a player could jump from a Classic environment to DA at U13/14, well good luck with that. [/quote]

Does anyone even remember what the argument was? This is why I wish more people would use screen names here. You can still be anonymous, but we would be better able to follow the threads.

I believe we've answered the initial question. Basically, if you're an above-average (even slightly) player on the typical rec team, you can probably make *some* sort of travel team. If you're in the top 5-10 percent (depending on the league) of the rec players in your league, you make make a half-decent travel team. If you're the best player in your rec league, you could surely make an A team somewhere -- maybe not at one of the big clubs in the area but somewhere.

And if you're the best rec player in the area over a 10-year span, maybe you could make a DA team.

Can we live with that?[/quote]

The following is the quote that set off the whole "Classic" debate:
"I know classic/select teams that will [b]destroy most travel teams [/b]and I have seen plenty of classic/select players that have shown up at u13 or u14 tryouts and displaced kids that have been playing travel for 4+ years." (https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/766858.page#14051597)

I think based on the bolded part we can see how this blew up.[/quote]
