[quote=Anonymous]^ it's "easier" in the common sports -- that are played in schoolyards; every school and rec center has a team etc. Kids can join on their own and keep improving; at most the "involved" parents are driving them around to tournaments on weekends and even then in basketball/football it isn't unheard of for coaches to realize that lots of parents work weekends etc. and if they want their star players there, they need to provide a bus that'll transport the kids bc mom can't just quit her job. Harder for Olympic type sports (esp. snow sports) that can't be done everywhere and you can't really train without $$$ for ice time, personal coaching etc. Then it becomes a family and $$$ commitment.[/quote]
