[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who cares? [b]95 percent of the parents do not give a d..n about scholarships, they just want their kids to have fun and exercise[/b]. Stop being smug about  your deep understanding of the fact that very few kids will become professional. Parents know that and they do not care...[/quote]

I completely dispute this. Ask that PP how much fun his/her son had on a nine-hour day to Philly for 1 game. Sounds like not at all. For many parents of kids in travel programs, all sports, it's about getting on the best team, regardless of travel demands/cost demands, with the idea that college scholarship money is out there. I've heard that over and over again from well meaning parents over the years, again, across all sports. No way it's just 5 percent. [/quote]

Its 5 percent. And btw that 9 hour drive to wherever we are always having a good time. We stop by different stores and experience good family bonding I guess staying home every weekend is your choice? Maybe video games as a recreation? [/quote]

This was PP. Sounds like he had fun...

We left DC at 9:30 for a drive up to Philly for a game. We arrived a bit after 12:00 but then had another 20-30 minutes to get out to the field in the suburbs through some traffic. Arrived about 12:30 (we were supposed to be there at 1:00) and the game didn't start until 2:00. Finished and off the field (warm down, chat, goofing off) by about 4:00. Returned home to DC about 7:00 after some drive thru.

As I parked the car I turned to my son and said "was that fun"? He just scoffed and got out (eventhough we won 3-0).[/quote]
