[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Growing up, I wouldn't have missed a tournament for a family wedding either. I made a commitment to my team when I signed up and it would've been pretty unheard of for a player to miss a tournament. His schedule was set first and your wedding was set after. It was your sister's mistake. [b]Also, he is just 14,[/b] but if he were even a little older, that tournament could be the difference between being recruited to play in college and not. I think it's important to teach kids the value of commitment. I do understand that family is important, but c'mon, it's not like he's missing the chance to say goodbye before you die, it's just your wedding. [/quote]

Which is why he should be at the wedding.  This is not a college-showcase, could get into a Div 1 school tournament.  It is a high school tournament.  He will have plenty in his 4 years of school.  His Aunt is 40 and is finally having her moment after going to everyone of his and athletics does not come before family.  I mean even professional players miss games for weddings, babies, funerals etc... [/quote]
