[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While I have always admired highly athletic kids and wish them the best, I am just so glad that mine never fell into that category. The commitment required for travel sports sounds exhausting, and many of the parents seem insufferable. And for what? The vast majority of the kids end up putting the sport largely behind them, more often than not before college. I just don't get the appeal.[/quote] The parents like it. They like watching. They like hanging with the other parents. They often were athletic themselves and sometimes, not always, they perceive that it has a lot of social cache for themselves and their child. I had a daughter who played a D3 sport in college. The group of parents for her travel team in high school was a whole scene. Lots of going out and drinking together. I let my husband partake and stayed home. But they enjoy it.[/quote]
