[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is demanding this?[/quote] +1. "We" are not a sports-obsessed society. Certain groups are sports-obsessed, and you decide whether you want to buy into it. If the kids like it and you can afford it, I think it's nice to let them play a sport or two. But it's not like they won't get into college if they don't play a sport every season (and in fact, elite colleges don't even like well-rounded students. They prefer students who have demonstrated passion and commitment to one or two things that are really, really important to them).[/quote] +1[/quote] I agree that colleges are looking more for dedication and a passion at something rather than well roundedness like they used to. The problem is that unless your kid tries something, you never know what he is passionate about. That means you may need to try a couple sports or activities before you find one that your child enjoys.[/quote]
