[quote=Anonymous]What do they want? Are they happy doing sports over different seasons, or do they wish they could play more/be better at a certain sport? This area in particular is ripe for "travel sports-itis", where no one feels like rec is good enough and everyone does private lessons. But if your kid loves playing basketball in the winter and soccer in the spring and bball in the fall, that's great! As a nice benefit it seems to be much better for their bodies not to specialize-- less likely to get injured by diversifying. That said...depending on where you are and what sports, those are not the kids who make varsity. At our high school it would be very rare for a kid who doesn't play travel to make even JV in any of those sports.[/quote]
