[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DC wanted to try a new sport that his friend has been playing for 2 years. Apparently he can’t get on his friends rec team because he is new to the sport and the friend’s team is supposed to be really good. This was supposed to be a rec team… what is going on with rec sports? Is my DC the only one?

Our rec league does try outs for basketball that allow for balanced teams, but soccer allows you to request a coach and if you don't, then you just assigned to a random place. This means there are basically half really good teams and the other half are not that great and the games with the really good teams are not fun at all. It also really discourages beginners. My daughter was new last year and their first few games were against superstars that were also a-holes and it was really rough on her.[/quote]

Our Rec Basketball and Baseball does the same thing and yet somehow there are teams are mainly the same every year. There are a few teams with lots of new kids. The Coaches pretty much allow the others to select their favorites in the draft so that there might not be any real change. [/quote]
