[quote=Anonymous]People have raised some good points about travel sports being year round, players training together, high costs and a big time committment. The gap between rec and travels players can be significant and obvious within 1-2 seasons. But, the answer it really depends on the sport and your son's phycial atributes and athletic ability. He's probably already out of basketball, unless he's super tall in the next year or two. He's also not going to make the top soccer teams, but there are a lot of clubs in this area, and multiple teams per age group. As long as thee's demand, clubs will find a way to take your money. Baseball kids have been playing all winter, even at the rec level. HS teams are competitive and most coaches already know the players. The difference in arm strength and hitting between freshman and seniors is obvious so an eighth grader would need to really shine. Go to the green day practices and see how he stacks up. His success will ultimately depend on his efforts and skills, and on the level of play at his HS. [/quote]
