[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won't close doors. Lots of TCSD kids are on college scholarships without the hyper-competitive stress of the bigger teams where the top becomes cut throat, and specialization is forced too young (often for reasons unrelated to your kid). Of all the teams in the area, this is one that gets life balance right without sacrificing the humanity of the child.

If your goal is college recruiting, know that all that matters is times and upward trajectory in high school. What team you were on when you hit those times matters not at all.

If your kid turns out not to be a recruit level athlete (and you won't know this for years yet), this is a team that will care about keeping them in the sport for healthy reasons that support overall development.[/quote]

NP. Wait, what? How are “lots” of Sea Devils kids getting college scholarship if there are only 2 kids on the team above the age of 16 who did a meet this year? Sorry, doesn’t add up. Or do you mean these kids are receiving academic scholarships? (Which is not relevant to the OPs question, if so).[/quote]
