[quote=Anonymous]To further address multi-sport athletes: Some of you don’t seem to realize that there are different levels of travel teams. Not all travel teams demand that kids treat it like it’s their job; if that level of commitment is too much, then just go find a different organization or team. It’s not a requirement to specialize. My kid plays travel baseball and travel basketball, but for both we deliberately sought out teams that were essentially “local” travel . I think between both we’ve had to get a hotel room three times in the past year. Never had to take a flight (and wouldn’t sign up for that in the first place). He was asked to try out for the most elite team in his current basketball organization this year, but he declined because it requires at least four hours each way of travel to tournaments every single weekend during the season. That’s the type of schedule that is going to burn out far more kids than it’s going to develop.[/quote]
