[quote=Anonymous]I have two girls, both of whom love sports. But we don't let them do more than one a season, they have to switch it up every season, and we won't try out for travel before at least middle school. With two working parents, we want time as a family in evenings and on weekends. And we are lucky enough that we don't need to pursue scholarships to pay for college. There was a great series int he NYTimes a few years ago about pursuing scholarships, with an article each day from a different perspective (athlete, parent, coaches). The bottom line was many kids burned out, many parents felt they spent as much money to get the scholarship as they would have spent on college if they had simply saved it, most scholarships don't take care of the whole bill, and many college athletes felt as though they had no time for academics.
