[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]My kid is in a travel sport until this weekend.  [/b] We had a beach trip planned Aug 5-12th and just found out my daughter can't play a Fall sport because an email just came out that tryouts start Aug 9th.  3 weeks before school starts?  That isn't even allowed in NJ.  Super bummed.  She is a top club player too, but she will just stick with club and travel sports.  I wish they notified us sooner, but we wouldn't have changed the vacation anyway.  She needs the break.

How do kids that play summer sports, go to camps, are camp counselors, have jobs, etc... start that early?  Tryouts and Practices are 12-2pm each day until school starts.  I work and can't her to them anyway.  It just isn't feasible unless you are rich and your kids don't do anything all summer.  [/quote]

It is your choice (or your kid's choice) to play a travel sport.  You say your kid needs a break.  Fair enough, but your kid needs a break because she has been playing travel sports.

You're looking for something to be mad about, but you're being unreasonable.  Get out of your bubble.  At our lower-income school, the kids take the bus to practice (free public bus for students in MoCo) and the families love that this is an option for the month of August.

Your travel sports playing kid will be fine.  [/quote]
