[quote=Anonymous]Honestly it’s awful and our kids do not even do particularly crazy sports.  We did rec sports only through about 7th grade when the red options start to dry up.  We have one kid that plays a HS sport which basically mandates that they also do an off season travel club to stay in shape.  One kid that does travel soccer but not on one of the crazy intense clubs. And one kid that does 3 different very low key red sports mainly because she’s trying out some new things before deciding if she wants to get serious about any of them.  For the rec teams we  carpool heavily.  It’s too hard to carpool for the travel teams because kids are too spread out but we’d beg a ride if needed.  And thankfully my oldest is now driving — although it still is a challenge with shuffling the cars.  
Basically make friends with people on the team and offers to help others whenever possible so they karma comes around.  And try to schedule for flexible jobs.  We end up working 9-11 every night so that we can take a break 5-7 to get a kid to practice or game.  I hate it but don’t want to tell the kids to give up something they love (the older ones are really into their sports and it’s good for their mental health).  I’m going to make the youngest trim it down for next year.[/quote]
