[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]

Ability doesn't have too much to do with year round commitment playing. You can enjoy the sport at a low level. Everyone should be doing some exercise activities.

High ability can push the kid into *travel* commitment because they can't compete at a high level locally.
