[quote=Anonymous]My kids are not on top level teams at the big clubs, so definitely a different demand than the OP describes, but I think there are a lot of benefits and none of them include college scholarships. -Learning that increased effort results in improvement -Learning how to communicate with the various coaches -Learning about good and bad sportsmanship -Learning how to control emotions -Learning to work through challenges to improve on certain skills -Fitness -Friends -Time management skills -Commitment to your team (showing up & doing your part) I do think these life lessons make it worthwhile and wish I had this type of opportunity when I was younger. Of course, there are other ways for kids to get experiences to learn these types of life lessons, but mine gravitated towards sports. [/quote]
