Travel ball doesn't have to start at 14u if one doesn't want it too.
Believe me....I would love to NOT start until 14U but the rec is not good over here. There are only 2 teams. If more kids participated at the rec level, there would be a lot more teams and they can even have divisions (by skill level). Soccer does this at the lower levels and it is really great. Most of the games are within 2 goals which means there is enough competition among the teams.
At 12U, I am doing a "comp-lite" team. I go to less tournaments and try and get more friendlies....double-headers if I can. It cost less and they kids learn just as much.
