[quote=Anonymous]The parent who doesn’t want the kids to play in the travel tournaments because they think it is “too much” seems to be clueless about how travel sports work. Once you sign up for the travel team, you are committing to play in all the tournaments the club schedules for the team (barring injury, in which case you travel with the team but sit on the bench). The problem with skipping is not that the kid might feel left out or miss something fun, it’s that the family is being irresponsible and not honoring their commitment. The time to act on a feeling that it’s too much is at the end of the season when it’s fine to have the kid skip tryouts and make plans to move back down to rec for the following year. Also, what does the athlete think about all this?[/quote]
