[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just keep in mind the longer you wait to join a travel program, the harder it becomes to make the team.  Also, our high school team is comprised of kids who all played travel.  Of course, your school and experience may be  different.  For us, it's been a sacrifice for our kid and our family.  We typically divide and conquer (one parent takes the kid to tournament, the other parent stays home with our other kid).  We also only play one travel sport and all other activities are very low key and close to home. [/quote]

This is big. The converse is that a lot of clubs are slow to drop down or cut paying members. I think the big thing is that you'll lose at decent number of weekend days driving to places you probably wouldn't otherwise want to go. A couple of hours is routine and then you'll just drive home and you day is shot. I think on the plus side, the kids get to have a ton of fun, most love the away tournaments and they do start really getting better as a byproduct of two or three times a week of hard training. I think the last part gets over looked because the gap widens each year and you get to a point where it's much harder to make the jump unless the kid is just a freak athlete [/quote]
