[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even the younger AAU teams expect dedication to basketball as number one priority--attending every practice--in spring season. My son dropped select soccer for Rec (because he was allowed to skip those practices and still play). We made every practice but got dinged for being 15-minutes late (to a 2-hour practice) because our commute from work-school-practice (in Herndon or Chantilly) took so long. The other parents all worked from home or lived close by so their sons had definite advantage to score brownie points with coach. [/quote] And after all that dedication, the cuts are brutal. Coming from soccer, the expectation was that the overwhelming majority of the top team would make the top team again the next year and the rest would make a team. Moving to basketball, massive turnover seems more the norm [/quote]
