[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I were chatting about what sports to put our toddler DD in when she is old enough and the convos quickly turned to what we didn’t want her in!

He says we need to do all we can to steer her away from hockey, which he played, and where ice time is early, equipment is expensive, and games were far to drive to. I countered back that we should also avoid my sport, golf, which had pricy lessons, long tournaments, and big time commitments. So what sports aren’t a big time suck on time and money? Everything we can think of has obvious or hidden costs and time constraints (one set of friends have to volunteer 75 hours for their child’s swim team each season, another spends over $10k on travel soccer fees).

Disclaimer: of course we want our kid to find her passion (if it’s even sports), and we plan to expose her to lots of different types, both individual and team, plus learning to swim of course. This is a more lighthearted post vs “don’t stifle or force your kid” post...[/quote]

np  I get it is lighthearted but, do you really regret playing golf?  Or your dh hockey?
