[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree it is a very competitive area. But to what costs? Is it really worth it?

My 4 year old plays t ball. He hates practice during the week after a full day of daycare. He cries and doesn’t want to practice. Loves games on the weekend though when he is rested and hasn’t been in daycare all day. But during the week after being “on” all day at daycare he is miserable.

Do I push him even though he is crying? Make him practice?

Op here [/quote]

No, you don't push him. I think you know this. Baseball is a skill set where you don't have to be super serious at 4 ([b]four[/b]!). But if you were really a competitive athlete growing up I'd think you know this?[/quote]

OP - I did not grow up here and we did not start travel sports until middle school. I grew up in a rural area where it wasn't as competitive to make a team. We had try outs but as long as you were a pretty decent athlete you made the team. I was asked to play college (D1 but small SLAC) but decided not to since my parents made it known that I had to graduate in 4 years no matte what and I was pre-med with a heavy science course load. I didn't know how to handle sports and that major in college so I gave up sports. [/quote]
