[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the problem I see is that sports have basically become all or nothing. Either you're doing travel teams and shelling out money for private lessons, or you're out of luck. I grew up playing rec league sports in Toronto. [b]Anyone who wanted to could sign up[/b] for a hockey team in winter and a soccer or baseball team during summer, which were run by Toronto's parks and rec, and have very modest signup calls. This provided a middle ground of giving kids the benefits of physical activity without having to devote your family's life to it. Whether you played a sport or not was irrelevant to college admissions, since college sports aren't much of a thing in Canada. [/quote] But that's still true. For most sports, there are rec league options. Outside of a few sports, there are still options for kids that are new to the sport or want the pressure-free version of it. [/quote]
