[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our "lowly" "rec" team has excellent coaches and my kid is very good considering the limited time she dedicates to lax. Why on earth would she sacrifice all her time to go from being among the best players in her team/league to maybe being a contributor on some fancy sounding "travel team"?

Not to mention probably giving up the other 4 sports she plays?

It makes no sense.

All these "travel" sports force kids to give up way too much.[/quote]

Not sure what to make of this post. Agree there are good rec coaches. True, travel sports can take up a lot of time. In the end there is room to play multiple sports. Just not likely kids can play multiple sports at a club level.

What threw me off was the troubling comment, "Why on earth would she sacrifice all her time to go from being among the best players in her team/league to maybe being a contributor on some fancy sounding 'travel team'?" The answer is simple -- to compete and challenge herself against better players, so she can continue to improve. Those "contributors" you referenced are called teammates and the best "teams" win, not the best individuals. These contributors push each other in a positive way to become better and confident individuals, teammates, and players.

Yup, I saw some of those "good" rec players on my son's HS JV team...and they never got played.  It's all relative...you were "good" on that team, but you will never be "good" in the big league if you don't push yourself.[/quote]
