[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][mastodon][quote=Anonymous]I did travel soccer, just wanted an my 8yo to get fit.  It wasn't for us.  We didn't really seek out a club we were just in the rec league and thought we would go to the tryouts.  When I realized they really just needed a scout team. Well, I'm not paying for that.

It's more of a status thing than anything.  There were a number of Drs. kids on the team.  I gather club swimming is the same way.  It's more about the ivy league social club than the swim times.

AAU basketball is a little better more "coach parent" oriented.  Has its issues also, some of the coaches genuinely suck.

Can you call a coach that coaches 8yo "professional".  I think they are really just paid "amateurs".[/quote]

Why is needing better competition a status thing? Travel soccer didn’t work out for you bc ur kid didn’t need that level of competition and u just wanted them to get fit so it seemed the interest stemmed from you and not ur kid.

So if ur kid is really good and really wanted more than the rec league could offer, joining a travel club would still be a status thing?

It’s ok if travel sports is not for u and ur family but don’t assume other families are in it for the status or the glory or for whatever reason.

I have 3 kids and they all play at different levels of sports. You support them by finding the best environment that matches their skills and interests and see if it fits in your family life and priorities. That’s all.

Because it is what I said it is and your opinion is also wrong so there.  why do you argue?[/quote]
