[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All these activities (including travel soccer) are a scam if you are doing it for anything other than current enjoyment and building life skills. If you think there is some financial payoff or elite status at the end of this, then it is a total scam. [/quote] This is such a great perspective and a rare one on DCUM. There's usually one side screaming "kids are overscheduled" and another screaming "but your kid will never be a D1 recruit." This is the sensible middle ground - do it because your kid loves it and is learning life skills from it.[/quote] There is no middle ground in travel sports. It’s ruthlessly hyper competitive and you have to be all-in to “keep up”. It’s all been turned into a huge scam and nobody admits it’s a scam and they’re being hustled — until after their kid ages out of it.[/quote]
