[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. We don't let our kids do team sports for this reason. A third grader doing 12 hours a week and traveling? No. [/quote] Ironically, the sports OP named were both individual sports. No team sports are pushing 9 year olds that hard [/quote] Travel soccer [/quote] Yup, I know a couple of kids in our neighborhood on a travel soccer team that practices 3x per week year round. I thought it was insane at first, but I will say that the specific kids who are doing it really truly adore it. I do think there's a big difference when the kids are pushing for more of their sport and can't get enough versus if the parents are driving it. My kids love their sports and one of them would probably be happy as a clam with that kind of sport schedule, but it would break us as parents so it's a hard no.[/quote]
