[quote=Anonymous]If you have to ask, the answer is yes. We are nearing the end of the line, our youngest now 15. I will say that in the 15-18 years we've been in the game, the time commitment has increased 50-75 percent. Our oldest did not have out-of-season tournaments that included both days of the weekend, and the in-season schedule was much less demanding in terms of travel and expectation. It has bled into this monstrosity and for one, I'm glad we are done with it. I was at a park recently where a tournament was going on, seemed to be maybe 9U/10U. Kids were out there all day. The players themselves, between games, looked positively bored. And the ones I really felt for were the younger siblings, the 5- and 6-year-olds dragged along for 8 hours at a field. [/quote]
