[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is saying kids should not play 2 sports.

What they are saying is that signing up for 2 sports when you know you will be missing all practices and just popping in for games now and then, is utterly unfair to everyone else on the team, even if that team is just rec.

The debate is coming in response to to the poster who said they had one travel soccer kid on their rec team who attended zero practices and missed a ton of games.

At that point, there is no point in bothering to play on that rec team. The parents need to quit being selfish and commit to what they can commit to instead of signing up for everything just so they can brag about how many sports their kid plays.[/quote]

It is almost impossible to play multiple sports without playing two overlapping or two in the same season anymore. So, when kids are in elementary school stop with the travel team commitment nonsense. Our jobs as parents is to expose our kids to many experiences and opportunities and what is unfair is sport leagues and clubs demanding nearly 100% of a kids time and commitment to a single sport at such a young age.
