[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son's primary sport is baseball. He did little league and started travel at 13u (later than most of his peers). Made the extremely competitive JV high school team as a freshman this year and actually got to start. He also plays rec basketball in the winter and played freshman football. [b]I think, in this competitive area, you have to specialize by middle school to be able to make the high school team in any of the major sports[/b]. But you can continue to play rec sports in off seasons. I agree that it's better for their bodies to play multiple sports. [/quote] But your kid isn’t specialized if he’s still playing other sports (even *gasp* rec sports). He isn’t specialized if he HAS an off season. Having a primary sport =/= specialization. And yet, he DID make his high school team. So the bolded assertion is wrong according to your own anecdote.[/quote]
