[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't know about others but for us it is quite simple. Our kid loves her sport and we love our kid. She has too much skill to play rec level as it is frustrating for her. The travel level provides her with the challenge she craves. She sets the pace and as her parents we want to support her. Nothing more, nothing less.[/quote] For us, this. Also, my kids wanted to learn and improve. We like the consistency and discipline of travel sports and find that (even for multiple kids) one year-round sport with three practices a week and games/tournaments on weekends is not too much. That said, our goal as parents is NOT college sports. Unlike one PP, I would be UNPLEASANTLY surprised if one of my kids wanted to play a D1 sport in college and have actively chosen not to go the pre-D1 route (meaning, discouraging trying out for the highest level team that requires flights to attend some games , even when kids are invited to try out).[/quote]
