[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The parent who said the thing about parents socializing hit the nail on the head. It’s about the parents! Travel teams like Primetime are about the parents taking shots at 10am in quality inn hotel bars. Every single second of the travel team experience is fulfilling a need for parents whether it be socializing, drinking buddies, unfulfilled sports potential from their childhood. Boys need activity to keep them away from screens. But I will never let my child be a $$$ for a creepy travel org owner like the ones at Primetime, a supporting character in some dads story, or an obstacle for some hyper competitive moms attempts to get her 11 year old pitcher signed to a college team. Use the travel program if it works for your kid then leave as soon as you see the writing on the wall that your kid is just a dollar sign. If it feels like a cult then it’s not a community. If you can tell that the other parents don’t want your child to succeed then get out of there. [/quote]
Travel baseball is the worst and the baseball parents are the worst parents out of all of the sports my kids have played.

If I had to rank it:

Normal Parents - Tackle football, Basketball. These sports heavily favor the most athletic kids so most parents accept it if their kid isn't the best.

Bad Parents - Wrestling. Most wrestling Dads have some sort of dream of their kid growing up into a tough guy ass kicker and they like to harass/abuse their child to relive their high school wrestling practices.

[b]Worst Parents[/b] - Baseball. Where do I begin? Yelling at umpires. Yelling at their kids. Spending thousands on travel ball per year instead of saving for college. Every parent there is out for their own kid and no one else. If it is the local little league, you'll deal with a bunch of parents who won't help at all with anything related to keeping the league running. Oh, and the parents are completely delusional about their kids actual athleticism. Why wouldn't they be? Their kid spends hours standing around in baseball so how would they know their kid is actually slow as a snail. I hate it. [/quote]

Swim, tennis, lacrosse, hockey and golf parents are just as bad. And I'd never characterize travel basketball parents as normal - full of psychos too.[/quote]
