[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t know why it is so hard to schedule in advance.  I asked the same question when we started 10 years ago.  I have had 2 kids play competitive basketball.  It is a lifestyle choice.  Many will drop the sport by high school because you have to give up and miss a lot to play competitive basketball.   But this is true for all elite level athletes, no sleepovers because of tournaments and early games.  Miss HOCO or prom for travel.  Ask yourself now what the end game is.  Rec is always a good option to stay active have fun but also family/life balance.   Unfortunately too many kids get caught up in the AAU/travel status but are not truly elite athletes and will miss so much normal kid stuff for it.   [/quote]

OP here- thanks for your honest answer. We will finish this session and will stick to rec thereafter. This is not our lifestyle. Even my kid is not enjoying traveling 40-50 mins to pg county only to play for 15 mins in the entire game. It’s definitely not worth it to us. Moreover, many team players are on more than one league, have a private coach etc, and we are not willing to put so much time and effort into basketball at age 11. Because of that my kid will automatically not improve as much as other players. So yes, this will be it for us.
