[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve always felt so bad for travel sport parents…it usually amounts to nothing.[/quote]

Yep.  Same.  [/quote]

Oy. Yes, there can be drama as OP has illustrated. Yes, it usually requires a lot of time and money. BUT—Our DCs love their sports and it’s what we enjoy doing as a family. I grew up playing competitive sports and while I did not play beyond HS, I can absolutely say it helped shape me (in a positive way) into who I am today. I am so tired of parents coming on threads about travel sports bashing those of us who choose that experience for our family. Please stop.

As for the drama, I have no patience for that so we’ve always looked for teams that seem more our speed in that regard. We’ve been lucky over the years and have largely avoided it. That said, in order to do that we’ve deliberately made choices that have meant we didn’t always go with “the best” team from a competition or record standpoint. Our goal is to have meaningful, challenging, and fun experiences playing team sports so we do our best not to loose sight of that. We have in the past switched teams and encouraged a couple of other like minded families to come with us. There wasn’t a lot of scheming but it was clear that a few of us were of a different mindset than the rest of the team[/quote]
