[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We did travel socccer and travel lax.

Just be ready for coaches/parents to give you the side eye when you are late.

We told each coach Fall Soccer takes precedence, Spring lax did. We stuck to the rule and it was a bit bumpy. Summer was complicated.

I said in many occasions… he’s 10, or 11, or 12.

I mean really they are little children, lighten up.

My son was very good so no fear of getting cut.

We committed to one Sophomore year of HS but continued to play HS for both.[/quote]

You should understand that you're committing to a team regardless of the age. The other teammates are counting on your player to help them improve as a Team. When you miss practice or a game it hurts everyone. Your using a roster spot that you committed to. A team sport is about the team not just whats good for your kid. Look at it if the shoe were on the other foot.[/quote]

The shoe was often in the other foot. Other kids wrestled, basketball, played football and hockey.

They also had family vacations, some traditionally did all summer summer camps, has bar/bat mizvahs, synagogue/mass, etc.

You are committed, not owned. Coaches need to understand they are not #1 all the time. You can’t expect 100% from somebody 12 months a year.

Sports are about learning, sometimes the star doesn’t show up and you need to step up, maybe it’s a good opportunity for growth. Who in the world has not had to kiss work gor family/other obligations… kids learn they can’t and shouldn’t put work/sports above everything else.

Simple answer to not just you but all the other two sport families. If it interferes dont commit to the 2nd team period. Choose another activity or non competitive team. But if you know the commitment the team requires before you accept the spot on the team. Your a real jerk to screw over the team. That goes for other teammates too. Either you're with us or you're not. And no the coach shouldn't be ok with it. It teaches other teammates that its ok to not hold up your end of the bargain. [/quote]

Your attitude is way more destructive to youth sports than hey sometimes you miss something.

Kids should not be "specializing" at a young age it's unhealthy.

They are little kids FFS. So what if they miss a game, it's not world cup.[/quote]
