[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can see how that definitely happened to your son, but parts of what you say I really disagree.  This is true for club teams that kill the love of the sport.  A lot of kids, like my daughter, absolutely love playing.  Club is great - the girls are really good, the competition is great, the tournaments are fun, the trips are terrific, and the confidence and friends she has gained are the best.  HOWEVER, the vast majority will not go on to play college!  A very small percentage of those who play high school will end up doing that.  And, I know countless people who are recruited for D1 teams and drop out after their first or second year.  I think it is very appropriate and reasonable for kids to give it their all through high school knowing it may end there.  The message is to enjoy it and live for the moment instead of playing just to see what comes next.  Maybe idealistic, but I think this is true for most of the kids except for the very top tier.  That's why I think a team like Panthera, which will hopefully cater to girls in the top 10% instead of the top 2%, will be a great addition!
