[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With everyone away traveling every weekend, there scant time for communities to bond. [/quote]

I think you are over looking the travel team community.  And who is traveling every weekend.  [/quote]

Travel sports are bad for communities. It’s not about developing community within the team but with the community where they live. Travel becomes self-focused on players. They barely know other players down the street if they play for different organizations. [/quote]

What is this community you keep referring to? My neighbor has no kids, two doors down is little kids, and so on and so forth. We are all friendly with the neighbors but what does this have to do with my kids? They have friends from school, their various activities, etc. but their closest friends don’t live in the neighborhood or community you refer to.[/quote]

It’s sad that we’ve evolved to a point where we barely know our neighbors. [/quote]

We know all of our neighbors and are friends with them. However, if there are no kids close in age to my kids, how is it a bad thing if my kids are socializing and pursuing extracurriculars with their own peers? Being neighborly and playing sports are not mutually exclusive. [/quote]
