[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a rising 9th grader and plays on a high level travel team - away games are usually a long car trip plus hotel. We try to let our kid have some balance - he can miss occasional practices and if he wants to skip a game each season - for a family event or something with friends that’s important to him - he’s old enough to make these calls. He has to communicate w the coach well in advance. And realize it could impact playing time the next game. There usually one or two teammates each game miss for one reason or another. Especially in March/April when surrounding school systems are on spring break. When he was younger - had he begged to go to a friends bday party over a game - depending on the circumstances we would have tried to make it work.[/quote]
