[quote=Anonymous]The problem today is that if you don't specialize, and you are not naturally gifted, you likely won't make the high school team. Possibly not even the middle school team. When I was young, and I expect most parents today feel similarly, most school sports had a spot for everyone who was willing to try (even if it was just bench warming). It is hard when you have a kid who wants to play for fun but they can't because the rec teams have ended and they cannot make the school team. Even for the kids who "specialize", there is a growing need to pay for private lessons, winter sessions, summer camps, etc., on top of the travel and elite leagues, just to get to you on a team. I don't want to buy into all this specialization, but I also don't want my kids to not have access to team sports.[/quote]
