Perhaps they want something you don't?

We're not sporty but musical, and I took pains to choose a teaching method that would suit us as well as a great teacher. It's VERY expensive, but the difference in quality of teaching is incredible. However, non-musical parents probably wouldn't care.

So the rec tier is perhaps just for the families who want to occupy their children and have fun doing an activity they like. The upper tier is for families who care about becoming as proficient as possible in that particular sport (or in our case, music).

A music mom here. I can't agree that it equates perfectly as pp does.  The music is more of a life skill/trade or such than soccer.  But yes, we are commiting time/effort just the same.[/quote]

I did music as a kid and what I see is that from my former peers, those who did athletics are more likely to carry it into their adult lives than those who did music. If anything, I'd think that proficiency in athletics has a broader life-long impact. I agree with you as far as commitment, effort, and cost, though. [/quote]
