[quote=Anonymous]I agree with much of the above about the positives of playing travel. For us, the big reason my son is playing travel is HE wants to play and LOVES it. I never ever thought we would go down that road but he is very good at soccer and he is driven and wants to play all the time. He begged us. We told him that as soon as it's not fun, we will move on. We have no D1 aspirations.  As long as he enjoys it, we will allow him to play. Yes it's inconvenient but it allows our family to spend quality time with him doing what HE enjoys. And watching him play is fun for me so I definitely don't mind the time on the sidelines.  I wish there was an activity/hobby that brought me as much joy.  I initially thought it was expensive but when broken down by the hour, it's less expensive than dance, music, or any of the other activities our kids have participated in. To top it off, it keeps my son away from video games and gets him outdoors. We don't see a downside in our son's case. However, I would not make the same choice if he wasn't begging to do it. We have friends who have pushed their kids into it and that's not fun for anyone. [/quote]
