Rec leagues can be put together quickly depending on virus conditions, and games are played locally. Travel involves travelling and tournaments against far flung other teams of kids.
People are free to decide and the market will reflect it. Hence the term free market.
No no no. This is a huge problem. Thank heavens that. as a nation we've managed to move past our misguided addiction to free markets. They may have made sense in 18th century, but they aren't a workable solution to the sort of problems we face today. Look at corona virus for example, if we had a free market, we might not have been able to prevent nursing homes admitting residents infected with covid-19. Luckily we were able to prevent this, but only a powerful centralized government could implement the type of regulation necessary to avoid what would otherwise have been a massive wave of unnecessary deaths in nursing homes.
Similarly for rec league vs travel soccer. This is just too important to leave to the free market. How would you know that the free market might not get the decision wrong? It would be much better for government to control this decision. That way we can make certain that we make the best decision for everyone.
Perhaps move elsewhere or win more elections so you can impose your vision on others. I am sure it will be our collective loss either way. I think the presumption ought to be that anything critical ought not to be left principally to central government other than national defense. That presumption can be overcome in other cases. The current crisis has proven that relying on central government is idiotic and an invitation to disaster and dithering. You want to live that way and then whine about how the central government did not respond as you desired, you are free to do so, and then, and only then, would be laughing. In my experience people of your ilk are pretty humorless, though you seldom think so.

If we let every thing to the free market only the rich would have toilet paper, masks, cleaning supplies, etc. PS: this is guy isn't saying stay at home. He's saying, don't spend so much in case it gets cancelled. To OP, remember the rec leagues are huge with SFL. You travel all over NOVA at least.
Getting off topic - my remark was meant to be vaguely humorous / sarcastic - and I wasn't expecting a serious response.
But I completely disagree with you on only the rich winning from a free market. The rich get richer precisely by avoiding the free market, and scheming to create monopolies. An actual free market - and I'm not talking about the travesty we have today - would distribute resources more evenly than any other system. That's not to say that everyone would have the same access to resources - no system can ever guarantee that - and it's not clear that that's even fair or desirable. But there is a reason the very rich spend vast amounts of money bribing politicians to ensure that they are protected from competition - and its not because they believe that they beneift disproportionately from free markets - it's precisely because they know the opposite - they need to rig the markets in order to get a larger share of resources.
Clearly it was lost in translation.

I'm sorry you live your life so scared. The rest of the country is opening up, heck even Jersey just opened the beaches and increased individual group sizes to 25.
Don't join the nursing home league and you'll be fine. little Mia poses near zero risk unless she's playing with a serious heart condition or Leukemia. Stop trying to scare people away from the game.

This doesn't even make sense. The younger kids don't even travel that far for a couple tournaments. This moreso sounds like...
"I really want to do travel, but im not because [ insert finances, upset, no refund contract, etc]. Since we have to/will do rec, i don't want anyone else to do travel without us and we can all go back together next year."

Why would rec be ok and travel wouldn't. This makes no sense.
