[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]90% of the kids are mediocre and unappreciative? Not on our travel team. We switched to travel because in the rec league, everyone makes the team and plays, which is fine, but unless you have a coach who stacks the team (which I don't agree with), you can be subject to wildly varying abilities. Also kids who don't show up for half the games. Or who are only there because their parents forced them to play. Watching your dedicated kid lose game after game because you didn't have enough players or some kid couldn't be bothered to field balls coming at him is frustrating. Travel teams have tryouts so not everyone makes it and they are expensive enough that parents and kids are invested in showing up.[/quote] This is one reason we do it. The other reason, the main reason, sports bring our kids joy! [/quote]
