[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are Asian Americans and my DD has been the only 1 or 2 Asian players on her predominately white teams for the past two teams in different clubs in MoCo.  I wish there were more diversity. But it seems that MoCo travel teams are mostly white.

I’m not sure why but maybe Asian girls prefer to play other sports or activities???[/quote]

We are also Asian American and  we also barely see any Asian families. The ones I’ve seen are pretty good though so it maybe it’s a sport Asian families will only do if they notice that their kid has potential. [/quote]

+1. I agree. I noticed my DD really enjoyed soccer and had potential so we pursued travel. She’s U14 right now. BTW, are you in MoCo?[/quote]

We are in PG county so even less Asians here I think. But same, we have one child who has the interest and drive and the talent. His sibs play too but talented child is the reason we play travel level. I’m surprised that that is not the primary reason you put your kids in travel to be honest. I can understand a strong interest but I feel that there are rec levels where an interested child can play at their level and still have fun. We see tons of mediocre kids and crazy parents.

But I guess everyone thinks their kid is talented? Or can get better with consistency? I don’t believe the latter is possible though without the initial drive and talent though. [/quote]
