[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you care op? [/quote] I’m not OP and I don’t lose sleep over this but I do think it’s ruined youth sports for a lot of kids. Clear negatives I see: Overspecialization too early in one sport. Bad for kids, but forced on them. [b]Loss of family and community time while spending all ones time playing a travel sport.[/b][/quote] It's also very unfair to younger siblings who are often dragged all over the place for their older sibling's activities. And if the younger sibling expresses an interest in sports, they are gently steered to the one their older sibling already plays. If your older brother plays travel soccer, you're going to be playing it too even if you are better at and prefer something else.[/quote]
