[quote=Anonymous]My kids don't play travel sports nor are they in any of the competitive, try out orchestras, but I have no issues with kids who pursue those passions! My kids fall in the camp of wanting to play their preferred sports more than rec sports permits, but with much less intensity and skill than the travel level. So what works for them is MSI's classic level soccer and BCC's select level baseball. They also enjoy playing their respective instruments, but are satisfied with their school band. The only part of the high level competitive sports/music/whatever that I don't "get" is the part where the parents/rest of family wrap themselves into planning entire weekends around regular out of town competitions, especially when most likely there are just as good teams to be playing in NoVa if you are in MoCo, or Baltimore, etc - instead of driving the NJ for the weekend :-). Seems to me that if the kids want that level of involvement/commitment then that is great, but I don't want my whole family's weekend memories to be on the sidelines of child #1's soccer games.
