[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll add one point that I haven’t seen here yet: travel sports. Many boys I know (even as young as 7) are funneled into playing hardcore travel sports (usually baseball, basketball, soccer, or lacrosse). As a result, they have practices every night (so they have less time to do homework) and miss some school because of tournaments. This also perpetuates the idea of “Why should I care about school? I’m going to be a professional athlete!” Of course we also see this in girls, but at a much lower rate. [/quote] I don’t know what world you live in- but I was playing travel soccer decades and it was national travel and multiple weeknight club practices, mixed with HS team too. The girls travel basketball and soccer and volleyball has a schedule almost identical to the boys. Those is gymnastics and swimming have crazy schedules as well [/quote] Dance and figure skating too[/quote]
