[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They play rec sports, sometimes travel sometimes house league, and have a lot more fun than HS teams.  I've even known a kid or two who could have made their HS team but chose rec ball instead for this reason.  Some kids play just for the fun rather than for the drive to achieve and possibly get a scholarship.[/quote]

My kid, barely missed the school team, was cut and was devastated. But he pulled it together and played rec, which he hadn’t done in years. It honestly gave him back his love of the game. He has a bit of anxiety and would get anxious or replay mistakes etc. And it would not have been fun to be a benchwarmer on the school team after putting in so much time.

He  didn’t worry about playing time in rec, just went out and played. I guess in a previous generation it would be the equivalent of going to your neighborhood court and playing regularly. It has been such a positive experience for our family. He has been able to try other extracurriculars he didn’t have time for. Win win for our family after the initial sadness of not making the team.

I do not think I wrote this two years ago, but the same thing happened to our kid, and +1 to all of this. It has been a joy to watch him play rec and just play for pure fun. [/quote]
