[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No expectation here of college sports at all. If it leads there I would be pleasantly surprised but I know it’s very, very unlikely. And that’s fine.

Here's the thing. Except for the very rare stud athlete or football if your kid isn't on a travel/club team, your kid is going to struggle to get on the field at most highly competitive high school programs or large HS. It stinks but kids that have been playing on a club/travel team will just be that more advanced than those that don't. Doesn't mean there aren't rare occasions where a rec player can't make the jump or that that there are some HSs or teams that they can't play but for your big sports - baseball, basketball, soccer, etc., you better have more than rec sports in your kid's history. This is especially true if your kid is a boy. For girls there is more lee way.[/quote]

This is a great point.  Unless your kid really desires to do  not cut sport like XC, there's a slim chance of making any HS team if you don't switch to club around 10.

Our HS had over 100 kids try out for the baseball team.  The poor rec kids had no idea what the level of play was going to be.[/quote]
