[quote=Anonymous]There has always been, and always will be, a small subset of parents/kids who are obsessed (and unrealistic about) sports success. There will always be very few kids who are able to play any sport beyond the high school level. The root of today’s problem is the high level of competitiveness to make high school teams. High schools have become much larger than ever before. To solve the problems in youth sports, we would need to either (1) separate sports from high schools altogether or (2) somehow have more sports opportunities for high schoolers- smaller schools and/or more teams per school. The overwhelming majority of parents just want their kids to have a chance to be a part of a HS team- hence the early focus on competitiveness & playing one sport only. That said, it won’t change. HS sports is a big part of our culture and there simply is not funding to field more teams/fields/courts and/or fund smaller high schools. [/quote]
