[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I said no to a travel team for my 10 year old DS for this reason.  It would have been every Sunday for the whole spring and summer.  So no travel, no family weekends (extended family), no lazy Sundays…I just couldn’t do it.[/quote]

I can understand feeling this way but your son is still young and your feelings might change. We know of 2 families that said this about baseball and changed their minds in 6th grade. Both kids played several years of travel and now play HS. A lot of kids will choose to play travel so they can be competitive for HS tryouts. I know my son’s HS soccer team is 100% travel players.

HS tryouts and MS leading into tryouts is where a lot kids and parents realized they made a mistake, but it works in both directions. For popular sports, non-travel has almost no chance of making it, but there are also kids who did travel so that they could play HS who will also get cut. [/quote]

This is 100% true. It goes both ways. [/quote]
