[quote=Anonymous]Sports… the issue starts cropping up in middle school when scouts typically camp one weekend a month. Kids that are specializing in a sport have a difficult time — typically they cannot miss any of their sport, which means they are barely active in scouts and it becomes difficult to advance. However, if it is a traditional school team or rec sports (NOT TRAVEL) that only lasts for one season each year with a few pre-season workouts, it’s not an issue as missing a few campouts is not a big deal. My boys had no issues - summer swim, rec soccer in MS; wrestling/swimming in HS and tennis in HS. They would prioritize what was most important. In season, sports usually came out on top. But the sports they choose did not have events every single weekend of the season, so they could still be fairly active. [/quote]
