[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My advice is to stop being so judgmental. Your kids will pick up that attitude and you’re going to start to wonder fast why they have no friends. Second, here are a few tips. 1) “travel” sports only means that coaches are getting paid, instead of parent volunteers for “rec” sports. People getting paid for their expert knowledge and labor is a good thing. 2) people live in the suburbs for many reasons and an obvious one is the need for more space. Usually people need more space because they have more than one kid.[/quote] They often have 2 kids and live as it they have half a dozen.[/quote] Travel sports means they are staying in hotel mores, eating take out, flying. It's not necessary. A 6 year old doesn't need to drive to Ohio so they can play soccer with another 6-year-old. They can do that locally. [/quote] Travel soccer for that age, at least in northern Virginia, is actually local. They may go to Maryland once or twice a season but usually stick to the area because there are plenty of kids to play! But aside from that, we have a midsize SUV because we are usually toting a grandparent or two with us to kid events. OP isn’t that saving resources vs having them drive separately? We used to have a sedan but then ended up taking two cars. [/quote]
