[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think that it's only about missing specific events, but what about free play/free time? Everything a kid/teen does now a days is always an organized event.[/quote]

Depends on the kid. It’s more an issue for an older kid who plays multiple sports at a competitive level. But for us, our travel athlete has a very intense season (spring through early summer) but the rest of the year is much more chill. [/quote]

No matter the kids age or whether or not they actually like these types of activities, free time is so important. I don't think kids get nearly enough.[/quote]

Travel sports are typically a couple practices a week and tournaments here and there. How much free time do you think a kid needs?[/quote]

The ppl I know that have their kids in travel sports are far busier than that. It seems like it's a constant thing. As far as free time, when I was growing up alot of my time was free time. Aside from school/chores as was alot of kids I grew up with. Activities weren't a huge deal.[/quote]

Times change.

Besides PP is right.  Travel sports aren’t Olympic training events.  Kids still have free time to play in the neighborhood, practice an instrument, read, study.[/quote]
