Oh, the sports thing is so bad. I’m watching my friends’ kids, with no especial athletic ability, demanding and expecting to play on these club competition travel teams in addition to normal extracurricular teams because that’s what everyone else does. And that applies to rural towns too. (OMG, the hockey racket in northern Minnesota is THE WORST.)

I've said it before: travel sports is a pyramid scheme.
I played college baseball and I believe sports/competition is really good for kids, especially boys. I just balk every time I consider the travel sports option, since I know it is a scam. But there is no denying it can have short term benefits, which is hard to swallow.
