Same!! It’s great for them both  physically and mentally. Learning teamwork is a lifelong skill.

What would you do with your child if there were no sports on your weekend?[/quote]

Do you really think kids can't entertain themselves without activities on the weekend? What did you do growing up?[/quote]

Our kids are not really into sports. They do swimming and have a couple of extracurriculars on the weekend. Even so, I always prioritize things like friends' birthdays and I wish their friends were more available to just hang out. IMO it sucks that the American model is to have them so overscheduled. It shouldn't be between "weekend sports" and "staring at the walls."[/quote]

I totally agree.[/quote]

+1 DD is 9 she likes biking and hiking we make time for that. We have a pool so there is also playing in the pool time. Sometimes there's a playdate. Sometimes her grandparents come over for boardgames. She still likes day trips to DC. There is a lot to do instead of sports and I find the idea of watching kids run around chasing/hitting/passing a ball so boring I could cry.  [/quote]
