[quote=Anonymous]One thing about travel sports is to focus on how much of a weekend day they actually take up. Our child has a handful of tournaments throughout the season, and of course those take a full weekend, but they are also fun and social for both kids and adults. On the other hand, for normal weekend games, even if they are an hour away in, say, Virginia (we are in Maryland), there is still PLENTY of time left in a day to do other things. I don't get the constant automatic response that all this is only because parents are living vicariously through their kids. Everyone is having a great time, the kids are getting exercise and learning the skills associated with competition and team play. As parents, we get to cheer on our kids and hang out with other parents who have become our friends. It was a lifesaver for everyone during the pandemic. Not sure why anyone would begrudge that.[/quote]
