[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have always carpooled with 3-4 other families…in office and WFH.

Usually means you drive one practice every two weeks on average…games are weekends.

Why is it so few people arrange carpools?[/quote]

Not OP but for DD’s current team, practices are 30 min away and the closest player lives 20 minutes from us in the opposite direction. There are not any kids on the team who attend the same school.   Carpooling can be difficult if you are talking about older kids and club sports. It’s why we said no to some teams, which you also can do.   There is the balance between letting your kids participate in things and your sanity if you don’t want to buy your oldest a car, which we did.  [/quote]

Unless your kid is truly playing on some elite team, why pick this club team?

Pick a club team where everyone generally lives near each other.

You realize that club teams aren’t like shopping on Amazon, don’t you?[/quote]

Only if your kid is good enough for college recruitment…if not, then it is like shopping on Amazon.

BTW, my kid is playing in college and they played on their local, nothing special club team down the street until summer after HS Soph…and even then the team they joined that has kids from all over the East Coast, still had two others that were fairly local.  The team never practiced, but we were able to carpool to tournaments…we even figured out arrangements to tournaments 1,000 miles away.[/quote]
