I am new to the travel team situation, with a son on one of the teams discussed. Overheard some parents talking about this board so checked it out. Absolutely amazing that people talk about 8 and 9 year old KID'S teams like this. Look in the mirror. Sport is for the fun of the KIDS, not the parents. Enjoy the weekend, win or lose, my son will have a blast. Hopefully your boys will to.
