[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [/quote] Is it more of a commitment than other sports? Or does it just seem that way becuase they are so young when the commitment begins? [/quote] Mom of a competitive gymnast here. It's a huge time and money commitment. I have friends with kids on travel sports teams and I log more miles on my car, more hours of time and more dollars from my bank account than they do for sure. I spend hours of time each month arranging carpools. There is missed school, which means making up assignments in the already limited free time. During the week, there is virtually no free time between school, practice, homework and chores. Also, it's a year round sport and family vacations end up being to competitions. It's not a sport, it's a lifestyle, if you ask me. And, it goes on for what seems like an endless amount of years since, as you point out, they start young. [/quote]
