[quote=Anonymous]I have noticed a lot of anxiety in the DMV (by parents) over their kids making a high school team, especially among the mid 40-50s (older/regular aged) parents. My personal theory is that it stems from our youth when there weren't as many travel teams and HS was *the thing* to accomplish. Also when high schools were much smaller. Our local FCPS has 1000 more kids than when we grew up in this area. There is much more competition to make certain HS teams because there are so many more kids in some schools but also, it is less important than back in the day when travel teams didn't play year round and there weren't as many of them. No college coaches care about HS teams, but parents are not always aware of this. People also make a lot of valid points on this thread that while travel teams also make mistakes, HS coaches are generally a much lower level of pay/experience at coaching than travel coaches.
