[quote=Anonymous]My DS was chosen for a travel sports team last year.  He loves it but he's constantly struggling because he is no longer considered to be one of the best players, as he was in the rec league.  He has become accustomed to playing positions he doesn't necessarily enjoy playing, but it is tough when he is asked to sit out for part of a game while other kids (who aren't that much better) get to play the whole game (normally the coachs' kids, but not always).

They are holding tryouts again soon.  He would like to keep doing the travel team because he thinks it's better to be playing on a more selective team, even if it is in positions he doesn't really like playing (or even if he has to sit out for half a game).  I would like him to go back to rec league because I think it would benefit him more to be playing more and in the positions he enjoys playing.  It would also be much cheaper.

Any parents out there who have been in a similar position? What did your kids choose and how did it work out? [/quote]
