[quote=Anonymous]I have 2 sports obsessed kids. My son has been enthralled with baseball since he was 4. He's now 12 and plays on 2 baseball teams for a total of 6 days per week. He would play baseball 12 hours a day if he could. My daughter fell in love with soccer and when she learned about travel tryouts age age 8 she begged to try out and she's now 13. We re-evaluate her interest every year when it's time to try out for the next season. My rule is that if we pay for the year of a travel team, the kid completes the year. They can quit prior to the next year (100% their choice). With 2 kids playing high level sports, our weekends are not our own and we spend almost every minute at games. However, we're not the sports parents who think our kids are the greatest or are headed to division 1 in college. We feel like fish out of water most of the time because neither of us were like this as kids (or as adults). It's 100% driven by our kids. [/quote]
