[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, athletic kids so much better in sports.

This is not true.  Ask any volleyball parent.  I’ve been spending many hours driving to pre tryout clinics for my middle school DD and spending too much money so she hopefully gets looked at during upcoming tryouts, and then we can spend thousands if she makes a team.  The taller the kid, the bigger the advantage in this expensive sport.  [/quote]

DP. So it might seem competitive to you but the number of kids whose parents can afford to spend the time and money as you do makes it less competitive. There will be less kids participating and as a results less competitive. So instead of 500 kids trying out you may get 36. Ask yourself If your kid would make the team if it was 28 kids competing for each position vs 3. Is your kid in the top 5% athletically and or size?

I guarantee the more expensive the sport the less competitive.

Also if you have to spend that much time and money too makes the team it does not look good for the future. At some point you max out your technical skills. A good athlete will beat a good technician if the technician does not have the athletic skills or size. The top 5% of athletes(including size) can easily beat the of 90% of players without good technique. [/quote]
