[b]Competitive sports, rec sports, school sports are kind of failing students without exception.[/b]

Ignoring college admissions for the time being.

How do you go about getting that key vitamin that kids need to develop?

Personally, this year I am forgoing most of the organized sports and have decided to basically just get a gym membership and take my kids as often as I can.  I feel the problem with this is keeping kids motivated.[/quote]

I don't buy this premise. Plenty of kids are happy at all levels of sports. [/quote]

Yes, that's the sign, that this just might not be the thread you need to post in.  Kind of like being cut.[/quote]

My kid is happy playing rec and it works well for our family. How does a rec player get cut? [/quote]

Is that supposed to be humorous?  I think rec kids get cut all the time.[/quote]

How? You register and pay dues. That's how rec work [/quote]

Let me explain.  Rec basketball is two months, summer league swimming is two months.  What do you do the other eight months of the year?  Rec basketball is only one day of the week, what do you do the other six?

There are some major gaps.  There are some other sports, but we decided we didn't like soccer that much, too tall and doesn't want to be goalie.  Softball for girls isn't much of a thing.[/quote]
