[quote=Anonymous]I think a lot depends on your neighborhood, and how kids make friends.  Our rec soccer team definitely bonded a group of girls that was very close.  Even after most kids quit or moved to travel, they are still close.  Lots of kids in our neighborhood do rec sports in ES and I find the parents who didn’t are then often looking for a team in 3-5 grade, when it is harder to join one.  I personally hate sports but I feel like it was a worthwhile investment of 32 hours a year (2 seasons, 8 weeks each, one hour practice per week, one hour game per week).  Another kid did baseball and those games are longer but I usually brought the dog and the diamonds are often nearing hiking trails.  
I do miss the family hikes and festivals — but we still sometimes do them (just did one last Saturday before a late afternoon game) and I also recognize that my interest in those things is much higher than my kids’ interest in those things.  
I always drew the line at swim team.  That seems to just crush the whole summer, but the people that love it really love it.[/quote]
