[quote=Anonymous]OP, you have your kid on a travel team and two rec teams. You have made these choices. Our kids also like sports, but we have said no to travel teams. Not everyone is fully immersed in the sports culture you've chosen to join, you can say no! As for academic enrichment, most of the formal outside school activities seem pretty unnecessary to me. It's a race to nowhere. Your kid is still going to be confined by the levels offered at the school so what's the point? I am a big fan of enrichment like taking my kids to museums, performances and cultural events, though. There's plenty of time for that if you drop the travel sport that is sucking up your weekends.
