[quote=Anonymous]I don't know, I think that I would really insist my kid finish the commitment of playing.  It's not the money I'm paying but unless she had a damn good reason for quitting, I wouldn't let her just out of teaching her that a commitment is just that.  I get why folks feel that a club sport in the large scheme of things isn't a priority and I agree but from a perspective of appreciating what a commitment is at a certain age, I do think it's a good lesson.

Much like the lessons of losing in sports - I think it's a great thing to have happen because nothing about education and how we bring our kids up has to do with loss.  We always preach success and never letting them fail but the one thing that you will find in life is we all have bad days.  How you feel and how you react to those bad days will determine how many more you have :)

DD got so sick of losing she quit and joined another club and that to me is fine because ultimately, she learned what losing felt like and wasn't scared to work her way up the club levels even though it was a much larger and stronger club she left.  We never quit mid season.  We just started low on a different club. That she hated losing and was happy to start at the bottom really taught her what winning might look like. She ended up working her way up and loved that even though she wasn't on a top team, she earned every win and and every promotion.  And this is why I shell out the cash and spend my weekends doing travel when I much rather be doing something else!  :) [/quote]
