certainly not pushing him in the travel soccer world. I think the whole thing is nuts and my post was more to get thoughts on the reason that I hadn't thought of. I think (outside of world cup) soccer is as boring as baseball. I'd rather him keep playing all the sports.

He made a decision to not do travel and said he said "I'll just play development," which I think he assumed he would make because it is less competitive in the sense they only play in the county and don't travel around the DMV. So it was venting on part and seeing his disappointment in part.


No kidding...most 8 year olds I know just want to

work on their hip swivel, bat speed, or cross checking. That's why soccer is so stupid, it doesn't help any of those things. Wake up you idiot soccer parents!
