@dennisbon I was adamant that my kid would keep playing rec soccer, that we didn't need to go the travel sport route. I love sports, and my son wanted to play everything. But what I ran into was that by the time he hit third grade, at least for soccer, everyone switched to travel teams and all that was left was one rec team that was very, very sub-par. It was just awful. He played the one season (since we'd signed up for it) and then we moved to an excellent travel team. It was a good experience overall, but tons of money and a bit ridiculous in some ways. If everyone would just keep playing rec like they do when they're young, I would have been happy, and I think my son would have been, too. If you have a decent rec program, go for it.
