[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is similar and in high school now. Our rule was one year of travel overlap and then they have to choose. When there are no conflicts, they had to both choose and tell the coach that they were missing. It worked well enough, they ended up with one year round travel sport plus rec swimming in the summer, soccer and volleyball fall and spring and travel basketball year round. They play three sports in high school [/quote]

How did the rec-level coaches handle it?  We allow my son one travel sport and they compete about 9 months a year, which means we often have to miss rec-level games, and the coach and other parents seem annoyed.  I really love the idea of multisport athletes but I feel ashamed to show my face at the rec-level games we can attend lately.  [/quote]

Rec rosters age huge. A no show means more playing time for other kids [/quote]

This hasn’t been our experience. The rec families and coaches have been less than thrilled with DS’s attendance. He plays travel hockey on a team that travels nationally and rec/town lax. [/quote]
