[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't realize what a waste of time HS & club sports are until you step away. HS sports back in my day were not 2.5 hours per day 5-6 days per week. Parents were not spending entire weekends at tournaments in depressing locations eating bad food. The majority of HS players will not be recruited. Your child is better off doing rec and spending time on studies and other interests. [/quote]

I don’t see a problem with school sports.  It’s right after school, same location, and parents don’t have to drive them to games.

Club sports are more like cheerleading and dance competition groups.  They spend whole weekends at a chain hotel to perform their five minute routine.   The amount of time spent on traveling to locations, waiting around, hotel, traveling home is way too much to justify.  There needs to be more local programs.  A lot of rec programs stop at middle school.  [/quote]

That's right but kids often cannot make the high school teams without club experience. [/quote]
