[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, athletic kids so much better in sports.

This is not true.  Ask any volleyball parent.  I’ve been spending many hours driving to pre tryout clinics for my middle school DD and spending too much money so she hopefully gets looked at during upcoming tryouts, and then we can spend thousands if she makes a team.  The taller the kid, the bigger the advantage in this expensive sport.  [/quote]

How come it’s so expensive?   I’ve heard a lot of girls want to play so they can wear bikinis or short bike shorts and put their hair cute.    But maybe it’s just fun.  There’s no running up and down a large field or basketball court.   [/quote]

Are you the poster who was concerned about your daughters playing an unfeminine sport?

Volleyball has to get court space, pay tournament fees, good clubs travel, pay coaches, uniforms aren't cheap, all the things.[/quote]

That would describe most sports.   And no, my daughter plays basketball and there’s nothing feminine about their outfits.   That’s volleyball.  Why do they wear two piece swimsuits?   Because it started as a beach game?  [/quote]

DP and you are referring to beach volleyball, which you probably watch on tv.  The rest of our are talking about club volleyball where tryouts are coming up in a few weeks.  They don’t wear two piece swim wear.  They wear mostly long sleeve shirts.  The shorts might be short but some even wear leggings.  In practice, my daughter has has on shorts, knee pads, arm guards and is actually quite covered up.  [/quote]
