[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is 10 and I have noticed a lot of this. His age group and the one above in both swimming in baseball have MUCH lower numbers than the younger groups. He does another sports where there are almost no middle schoolers and typically that would be a large group. Those kids didn't have access (for the most part) to their sports for up to a year during the crucial age where they decide whether to stick with it. And where we are I didn't see any attempt at trying to get those kids back. [/quote]

I’m wondering if you’re talking about tennis? Big participation gap where I am for kids 12-14ish. They didn’t have the chance to get beyond the advanced beginner stage and probably felt “too old” to start over when they came back.[/quote]

Not tennis, but it is an individual sport. One part of it has an age limit of 15, so I think those kids, and parents, figured they were too late and just skipped to the next stage or dropped out altogether. I was speaking with a high school coach of this sports and they said they expect to have almost no team for 2-3 years due to this. [/quote]
