[quote=Anonymous]I think you've gotten some great advice already. My boys don't play travel (they're good but not that good and we also couldn't afford it) but they love sports and it brings them so much joy. Through sports, they socialize with their peers, learn teamwork and discipline. I often here comments along the lines of school comes first from family members and other parents at school. While school is very important to us, my kids aren't going to the Ivy leagues. I won't make their entire childhood about school. Sports are fun for them. They're a stress reliever. There is such an intense look of pleasure on their faces when they're playing and talking about playing that I know that I'm doing the right thing for my kids. I've had people say "you know they aren't going to pros". Yea, I know! That has nothing to do with why my kids play. [/quote]
