Travel Team only?

I have to pose the question, I've had this conversation with several rollergirls in the past year. Is it possible to see some of my favorite skaters play travel team only? This is an interesting question that sometimes causes arguments. I have mixed emotions on it but generally love the idea. It makes TT games that much more enticing. Here's a great blog post about a league that is trying it out. What is your opinion on the matter?

  1. I would skate closer to home if I had that option. I was way too burnt out for home team play.

  2. It would depend on the league.

  3. Catazon I would LOVE to see that; I wish that was an option here at times. That might mean a stronger TT and holding on to some super stars for a bit. I think it's a difficult decision but I think it would cause some people to work that much harder to make the TT and stay on it. It also allows the noobs to get more track time and continues to push them to work harder. It also allows for new stars to rise.

    It could be a logistical nightmare for all I know. I'm just a superfan/rec leaguer so I don't know the entire process.

  4. Burn out - AGREED. Also, this option would take care of the divided loyalties. A skater could focus on just TT and not a home team that has NO effect on national standings.
