[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let me get this straight. Arlington travel basketball takes over 1/3 of it's pool of kids into travel, yet the remaining children are still upset that they might have to play with some kids who are worse than them? God, what an entitled generation of kids that are being raised. How do you think they'll cope as adults never believing they should have to interact with anyone whose beneath their level on any skill? How about instead of complaining, you encourage your child to rise to the top of house basketball so he or she can make travel another year.[/quote]

same mentality of those against boundary shift. oh the horror of mingling with the masses.[/quote]

Give me a break. By the time a kid is playing travel they've put in a lot of hours into the sport. Sure they don't want to play with players with less skill set who may not be as committed to the sport. Who instead is doing it for the fun but not to test the limits and capabilities. How is that going to improve the better skilled player, who's parents have probably already invested a small fortune on trainers and camps to get them there. The travel level can be a nail biting experience and quite fun for all involve. Why bother playing with people who just doing to fill in the time which is often how it is at the rec level.[/quote]

Why would you assume that the kids playing rec basketball are just there for a play date? Isn't it just as likely that they are the kids you're talking about that are capable of playing travel basketball but got turned away? [/quote]
