We have a SFL games against NVSC and PWSI this season for U13 girls. SFL only happens at ages where so many kids quit or leave for travel that internal leagues are no longer workable

It used to be that Rec got the good fields on Saturday and travel got them on Sundays. Now there are SO many travel teams that travel gets good fields on both days and Rec gets what is leftover.


Ironically, since it seems like these orgs are making a fortune on these rec teams. $270 is completely insane. I can't imagine what they are doing with all that money they are making. It seems way more profitable than travel.

That's a really good idea, actually. Will suggest it to our coach.

Parents might say to themselves, "Might as be in the travel program, we're driving further away and have to buy the uniforms anyways!"


No, most rec parents will just forfeit the Fredericksburg games and iron a number on any old shirt from their kid's bureau.

They also had it on the website. It’s useful when an assistant coach has to coach the team or someone else for any reason the head coach can’t make it. It’s a simple thing that has always been done. And they currently are doing it for travel!
