[quote=Anonymous]I only did rec sports as a kid, and very sporadically at that. I was an orchestra, scholar's bowl, science olympiad, debate team type of kid. So when my husband suggested our kids do travel sports, I had no idea what we were getting into, and my views have certainly evolved over time. At first, it seemed like a way for our kids to learn a skill and be on a team. Then it seemed like a good way for them to stay out of trouble and learn time management. But now I think the greatest value is for them to develop the mindset and attitude that you can also get from non sporting activities, but with the added physical component. There is something about pushing themselves to their physical limit in a competitive sport that unlocks something in their psyches. It's not a recipe that works for everyone. It didn't work for me as a kid. And like in most sports, they can only get the level of training and intensity from a travel club. [/quote]
