Who says it’s prioritized? My two teen athletes not only play sports year round but also play instruments (oldest is in regional orchestra) and are in various school clubs as well.


Ummm. Read the OP.

OP, if you have a boy, I’d strongly recommend enough rec sports exposure so that your kid feels comfortable enough to join a pick-up game. It’s helpful for socializing.
