[quote=Anonymous]We moved here from flyover country and I found the lack of focus on competitive sports nice! Where we used to live kids began with private coaches at 5 and 6 years old. That is the age when they begin to split kids between competitive and rec leagues. Parents are obessed and at least 75% of boys are redshirted because most leagues are grade based rather than age based. We could rarely have a 2nd grade play date after school because every single boy played on the 2nd (!!!) grade football team except ours. They practices everyday after school-- first hour with pads! The minute football ends it is right into basketball then spring soccer. It was really crazy and so glad we live here now! [/quote]
