[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm someone who would never do club/travel with my kids so I can't say for sure. But, I think it's for a status symbol or college resume building. Maybe parents are trying to live through their kids.[/quote]

Since you already say you would never do it and have no experience in it, your negative projection is just an assumption.

For our kids it was, as PP mentioned, that they wanted to play with kids who wanted to play, were competitive, and were committed and didn’t skip games. None of our kids wanted to play in college and we certainly weren’t looking to live our lives through elementary sports. [/quote]

I’d have invested in a country club to give them life long sports rather than start paying for club in elementary. That age requires a parent to go to out of state tournaments and is fundamentally hard on families/ especially families of multiple kids and single parents. We too felt the pressure of the rat race- got one child involved in club lax and saw what a huge jerk off circle and money waste it is for 90% of the kids there. Paying for all that disruption without any plan to play in college seems rough, unless maybe you only have one child. Was too hard and costly with three, for us anyway [/quote]

How does the country club plan work for kids who aren't interested in golf, tennis or swim?[/quote]
