[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fun is gone too young. Too many parents ruining it for the kids and over-training them younger and younger. Clubs out to make $ and requiring too much structure and too much $$ at an age-inappropriate time. The organized 90-minute travel practices 3+ times a week almost year round for SECOND graders is ridiculous...add in multiple tournaments each season and long drives and a culture that gives up on 90% of kids in an age group. [/quote] This is the issue. They are burned out before third grad.[/quote] +1 million The Clubs all compete and try to push it down earlier and earlier with “more, more, MORE”. Now there is no true off season and these crazy fuckers are having 3 practices a week all winter long and summers. That’s wrong. Gives kids no time for pick-up or backyard practice, private training or another Sport.[/quote] Can you say: overuse injuries? [/quote]
