[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I know you all are right. We can afford it. I don’t love the extra driving and time suck. I’ll just deal with it and keep my mouth shut.[/quote]

NP here. I was in your shoes (but for volleyball) and I went ahead with the clinics, camps, and lessons even though my kid isn't tall or particularly good at VB. and unlike yours, she isn't type A so she wasn't working super hard outside of these trainings. However, what it did accomplish was keep her SUPER busy, which she needed in order to stay out of trouble and/or drama. My DD was the kind of tween and early teen who easily got sucked into drama or bad/lazy decisions and the busier she was, the more productive with her time she became and she also was just too tired to spend extra time with drama nonsense. Off season was hard because she would get pulled back in.

I hated all the driving and waiting around, especially if it wasn't going to lead to getting into better clubs, more playing time, etc. But she loved going, and I think it was just so much better for her than watching Tik Tok or other social media or hanging out with friends who I didn't love (they got caught drinking, smoking, etc). Something to consider.[/quote]
