[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many of you here on this board contribute to the demise of youth sports. The hyperfocus on pathway to college/pros, chasing top clubs, etc. Not many threads on team and social aspect of sports here. The monster was created by parents and we continue to feed it.[/quote] What thread are you reading? Pretty much every PP is the opposite of what you describe.[/quote] Crazy parents trying to find the "top" club for their kids are part of the problem. But so are clubs and governing organizations that are so focused on winning that each team is a year to year proposition, which makes it hard to form social connections in sports. It is never about the kids, it is about the win, and kids don't care as much about winning the adults in charge (and some parents) do. [/quote]
