[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When did this thread turn into a discussion of rec soccer? There seems to be a lot of interest in the topic based on the last few pages. Perhaps a rec specific thread is in order?[/quote]

This isn't a discussion about rec, it's about whether Juniors is the best path to travel. My personal feeling is that, if you have a six/seven-year-old who can handle three practices a week without having the carrot of the fun game at the end of the week, then it is hard to beat Juniors. The training is exceptional. It is also true that a lot of kids get burnt out and quit soccer when they probably could have handled the same level of commitment a year or two later.

To the poster who asked "how is it different"... Juniors sets up the games so they are like intersquad scrimmages with a different mix of the kids from practice. It doesn't have the feel of a team playing another team--some kids don't seem to mind but a lot of little kids are still in it for the fun at that age and it's risky to get serious too early.[/quote]
