[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]On a per hour basis it's less expensive than most kid activities. I figure my kid spends a minimum of 6 hours a week at practice/games for at least 45 weeks/year. So that works out to about $10-12/hour. And it keeps them active and occupied, gives them the skills to play on their high school teams, and at least my kid enjoys it. So it's worth it for us, but maybe not for your family.[/quote]

Well, we can afford it but don't subscribe to this scam and philosophy of training (games, games: ribbons and trophies).  I prefer the European (e.g, Netherlands) approach -- drill and kill re: skills rather than games at a young age.  I know this is anti-American (mind and muscle) but I prefer the products of this philosophy.  6 hours a week of soccer games for elementary school children is absurd...no wonder our boys never excel at the higher levels of play.  They lack basic and fundamental skills in favor of a chest of trophies.

This sounds good, but where you you find the European approach here? We'd like to sign up![/quote]
