[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 for the comments about travel sports. I did not want to devote my life to the sport. The expense was not worth the gain. IMO, the majority of the travel parents are in a special class of parenting and I didn't want to risk exposure to toxicity. DC thrived and was at the top of the SYC leagues and school teams, and was always sought after. We've spoken as adults, and DC is glad she didn't join the travelites.[/quote] Parents with younger kids pay attention to this. My kids are grown and travel teams are just not worth it. So many parents, deep, deep down believe their kids have a shot at the pros in whatever sport. So few kids make it even in to college sports and so many who do crap out at that level. I personally know so many parents who regret the money they spent. If you're going to do private lessons or extra lessons, do just enough to ensure your kid makes the team. [/quote]
