[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no corelation between being over/under scheduled and success. Stop trying to make it a thing[/quote]

Honestly, what does underscheduled even mean? I don't get that concept.[/quote]

It theory, means "shooting hoops with the neighborhood kids outside" instead of going to basketball practice. In reality, it means loafing around and playing on the phone waiting for other kids to return from their "scheduled activities".[/quote]

I have a son currently trying out for middle school travel select basketball this week. He spent much of elementary shooting hoops with friends after school and never had any basketball skills training. He did not make the select team or AAU team last year. For the past year, he has been going to as many trainings as we could take him to. He was mad at us last year for never signing him up previously.

My other kid plays tennis. He has been playing tennis almost daily since he was in kindergarten. He made the tennnis team in HS. There are other kids who may have played at the local park once a week. They did not make the team.[/quote]
