[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No travel player wants to play rec. Rec is for the kids who couldn’t make travel. The kids they teased and mocked and refused to play with in ES and MS.

But now that it’s their turn, it’s a horrible problem the rest of the world should fix for them.

I wouldn’t say it’s entitlement. Rec is really just a different level of playing. They practice 1 day per week versus the HS team which is practicing 4 or 5 days per week. And Rec is “easy”, there is little competition for the higher level players so they aren’t going to develop more as a player. 
My DC was just cut from the basketball tryouts and I am trying to convince them to do Rec but for the reasons above they are resistant. [/quote]

Well, that’s on your DC then. He can play for fun (because what does it matter if he develops more as a player?) or not play. But if he decides to play rec, he should try leaving the attitude behind when he steps on the court.

PP here. Yes, I agree. It’s up to them to make the most of it. They probably want to try out for AAU teams in the spring, that’s why they want to keep training. And no they’re not trying to play in college or something, they just like playing on a challenging team.[/quote]
