[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Once you get beyond rec league, your sports through high school are a time and money suck, neither of which you will ever get back. [/quote] Rec sports are great if you can get a reasonably stable team together. You can get the physical and social benefits without a crazy time or money commitment. I'm hoping our established teams keep going as long as possible. [/quote] Rec sports are fun when they are young and you can sign up for the same team with friends and a coach you know. Once you get to the age where they draft teams it gets pretty terrible. Half the kids are god-awful and have no intention of actually getting better. A quarter almost never show up for practice or games, and you'll sometimes forfeit because not even 5 kids show up for a basketball game. I'd say it's 50/50 whether you get a good parent coach or a terrible one, or maybe some high school kids just doing it for service hours.[/quote]
