[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids will gravitate to the level of their ability.

I know kids that are in all year round swimming and kids that are summer swimmers.  I know kids that are all year round hockey players and kids that are winter league players.  Same for soccer.  And all football players i know are seasonal only players.  The kids with more athletic aptitude tend to play year round or they rotate sports seasonally.  The kids with more athletic ability in a given sport, tend to focus on that sport.

So, when you move out of the "everyone gets to be on the team and everyone gets to play" age group, your child will gravitate to the level of their ability and that will dictate how often you are committed to playing, practicing and traveling.[/quote]

I disagree with this.
Travel is a for profit money grab and any ability level can find a travel
team to play on. Parents think they have to do this for whatever reason or delude themselves into thinking their kid is exceptional. A few are of course but most travel kids are not.

The common denominator of travel
sports is they are for profit. [/quote]
