[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest is on a path that requires a lot of stay to play travel at crappy hotels. We travel about 8 weekends a year.  We only did it because local play in their sport isn't competitive, and they showed enough potential to keep up on a higher-level team that has to travel to compete.  I know some parents love it or do it for themselves, but I hate it. I don't love the other families I have to spend time with on those weekends, and I dislike the impact it has on our younger child and our marriage.  If we could do it all over again, we would never have started this sport.  Our kid showed potential in lacrosse, and that would have been 100 times more sensible.

Lesson learned. Our youngest does individual sports, and if or when we travel, we do so on our terms and stay where we want.  [/quote]

Our kid likes it...I am not sure if they love it...but they did get recruited for college, so they knew it was part of the drill.

I guess we were lucky in playing on travel teams with good parents, that were fine with one parent taking 3-4 kids to one tournament...then we would take 3-4 kids to another tournament, etc.  Kids shared one room and adult in their own, so paying for 2 hotel rooms vs 3 or 4.[/quote]
