[quote=Anonymous]OP, I think that this is really a personality issue. My kid would rather be a small part of something "big" than a star on something small. This is true in everything he does. He'd rather be the third tenor in the honors chorus, than a soloist in a lesser group. He's happy to do stage crew for a big school production. For him playing on a top ranked travel team (football, so he was the "12th man" rather than the 9th) was much more satisfying that playing rec. I'm the opposite. I'd much rather actually play and lose, than sit on the bench at the state championships. If money is a major issue, then let the money make the decision. Otherwise, I'd let your kid choose and focus more on him having the experience he wants now, than on assuming that he'll want to play this particular sport in HS.[/quote]
