[quote=Anonymous]Yeah, our plan is to only start driving more if our kids need to to compete at a high level and not until late middle school or high school.  I've already looked at the commute if that were the case and it's only 45 mins max for the options we have and that assumes traffic.  Right now, it's 20 minutes to practice.  An hour is a nope for us but it really is about your family.  It's not possible for us because I have 3 kids and they all have different activities that they need to get to.

If a long commute is your situation, I think it would be a good investment for your kid to become truly responsible and independent when it comes to school work and getting ready for practice.  My kids all do their homework before practice without any reminding or nagging (they get carsick so it's not an option to do them in the car).  They also snack/fuel as necessary before practice to account for later dinners and come departure time, they are expected to be dressed and ready to go.  These little things help to get out the door more efficiently and without as much disruption to your work day.[/quote]
