[quote=Anonymous]It sucks.  But, I really don't think any kid should be trying to do two travel sports in the same season.

1) it automatically teaches kids the wrong thing--- not making a commitment to the team.

Any kid that is going to sign up for travel has a commitment to the Coach and teammates.  It's really infuriating to have players miss tournaments or games for another sport.

My kids were athletic and did very well in multiple sports at a young age---soccer, flag football, lacrosse, baseball, basketball.

But, I only let them play one travel sport per season.  With soccer, it's pretty much year-round.

I also tried to minimize signing up for any sport that would have conflicts.  So--it was winter Rec basketball and travel soccer.  One year--flag football (games Saturdays) and travel soccer(games Sundays).

I found baseball to hard to juggle since the increase and games, length of practices, game times.  It would have required a full-time commitment that wasn't possible with travel soccer.  I do know kids that do it.  When they get to a higher team in soccer--the coach usually makes them make a choice.  I am sure the travel baseball coach does the same.

It's just not fair to teammates to have teammates that repeatedly miss games/practices.[/quote]
