[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why I try my best to get my kids involved in the same sports (we have 2 boys and a girl fwiw).

They're all involved in tennis and skiing. Then one also does soccer, one does fencing, and the other does a bunch of dance classes.[/quote]

Op here. My kids play a lot of different sports throughout the year. They play tennis, golf  and soccer. They also love to ski. Thank god they are no longer doing swim team and boys didn’t love baseball.

Why are we such a sports obsessed society?[/quote]

DP. Sports are a fun, easy way for kids to get active and learn important life skills and lessons.  You don't NEED sports for those things, but it's usually a lot of fun for kids to run around and play with their friends.  Also, playing sports can serve as a good foundation for a healthy, active lifestyle as they get older.

But there comes a point where too many sports is a problem from a logistics perspective.  Sounds like you may have reached that point![/quote]
