My girls are currently in academy setup at U11 and certain aspects of it drive me up a wall. Within the academy (and all travel ball across sports) there seems to be a belief that traveling will inherently make your kid better at soccer. At this age, reps is what is needed above all in all sports. We travelled to Lafayette in the fall for them to play one league game. That time in the car would have been much better spent playing multiple games against a team closer to home

Ha, you are just dipping your toe. At higher levels you can be driving 5+ hours or flying for a single game...
