[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a scam, but businesses run for the purpose of generating profits.  I'm at the tail end of a travel sport with my high schooler, and we could've done without it. We would have had more mutually enjoyable vacations and experiences had we avoided that scene. [/quote]

It is a scam. Not every kid who plays travel is good enough to play travel. I have seen kids on competitive basketball teams that shouldn’t even be playing basketball. How the heck they are on the travel team? Why do 9/10/11/12 year olds need to be driving all weekend to play games? Why is playing sports more important than family time and down time? How is this not a scam? Parents fall into this trap they are made to believe their kid is good and should be on travel team.[/quote]

It’s like abortion. If you don’t want one, don’t get one. Same with travel sports - if you don’t want to do it then don’t. But that doesn’t make it a scam. And you don’t need to be a college recruit to enjoy it. [/quote]
