[quote=Anonymous]We try to steer our kids towards sports they can play life-long. Like, no adult is going to invite his friends over for wrestling. So, biking (road and mountain), tennis, soccer, and basketball. We made sure they know how to swim and take them to the pool regularly but are avoiding pushing swim team unless they really, really want to do it. My kids have many talents, but neither of them are scholarship material. I don't understand the obsession with turning every sporting interest into overpriced "lifestyle" with teams, tournaments and 40+ hr/week commitments. Like, your kid can like soccer and play pickup games with friends. It's fine. Nobody needs to go to the State Tourney.[/quote]
