[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a kid in travel sports? We signed a contract saying the kid will be there. There aren’t a lot of extra players so if two kids skip, the whole team would potentially forfeit. We knew this going in and so did our kids. I would it let my kid skip a tournament unless it was for a very best friend. Even then, I’d really have to plan it out. My kids love their sports. [/quote]

My kids know that the travel sports are a commitment and it’s their decision if they want to do them and be all in. They also sign the contract and know it’s for 10 months. The second they don’t want to be all in they won’t continue the following year. The decision is all theirs, and they love it. They can’t just skip for a bday party bc that’s not fair to the team and could result in a forfeit, especially if anyone else is out sick or injured. I’m guessing you don’t have kids serious about a sport? It’s not simply a local tournament to these kids - they get very into it. [/quote]
