Goes back to the idea that there is plenty of talented competition here on LI that a travel team need not ever go outside the confines of LI to play against teams to get better. You know that the reason travel programs play at distant destinations is because they don't want to play against each other and get beat, thus hurting the bottom line...rather play against some third rate "C" team in Pennsylvania or Mass. than against one of the local LI squads--who cares if you lose to that team?..parents get to boast to coworkers about how many weekends they have spent on the road this summer with their daughters travel team
Because some teams on LI would never lose a game or be challenged if they stayed on LI, fine for most, but not for all!
