[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in some cases travel sports can create a stronger community.[/quote]

+1. I’m much closer with the travel families than my neighbors. [/quote]

But that’s a problem [/quote]

Says who? You really don't see how/why travel sport families of a particular sport will likely have more in common than people who have homes near each other? [/quote]

I don't know if it's a problem or not but reality is these relationships with travel families are a moment in time.  Ask me how I know.  Wait until your kid doesn't make the team or needs to switch teams or just ages out.  Your strong community won't be so strong.  The travel community is a community of convenience.[/quote]

That’s true for a lot of communities.  Work friends disappear when you retire.  The mom groups that are so tight when their kids are infants or preschoolers fade away when their kids start going to different elementary schools.  That doesn’t make the friendships at those points in time any less enriching.[/quote]
