[quote=Anonymous]My son played travel soccer. Not elite, but plenty good. Since he quit, he's spent a lot more time on the Play Station (although not excessive amounts because we restrict). It is hard to motivate him to stay fit without the structure Travel provided. It is the case that he has more time for school work, but he also has more down time. For us it was time to stop, but I'm not judging. The only right answer is the one that works for your specific kid. There certainly are parents and kids who make choices I wouldn't make, and there certainly are parents who are supporting an inappropriate balance between sport and academics. However, OP - the blanket statement and judginess I see in your post suggests that there are other things unbalanced in your priorities. Why do you give a crap about those other familes?[/quote]
