[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sad that you aren't teaching your kid to respect his commitments, coach and teammates :(. [/quote]

If you insist on going to every practice of a team, you can only play one sport/team per season, bc your kid doesn’t get to pick their practice times. You sign up and get to as many as you can. Sometimes you get lucky with no conflicts and sometimes you don’t. These people who keep insisting that a kid has to be at every practice for a rec team have kids that only play rec and just don’t get it.

The kids who play travel sports are talented and other kids and many coaches want them on their rec teams. It’s fun to play with your buddy who is really good at basketball, and it’s more fun to win than lose. [/quote]

Wrong.  All 3 of my kids played travel - when they signed up for rec, we indicated their practice conflicts.  If rec league worked out, they went to every practice. If rec league didn't work out, then just played travel.  What they did not do is stay on rec team, miss most of the practices and still expect to play in all the games.  Most rec leagues have player drafts anyway so this idea of just "playing with friends" is wrong to begin with....[/quote]
Yeah that’s the way it was 40 years ago [/quote]
