I really might quit. I already have two girls in ballet 4 nights a week and most Saturdays. They travel too. Outfits are often $100 a pop with 3 or 4 for one production.
And to be clear I do not expect any of my children to go on to be stars. My wife mentions scholarships and I shake my head. As a kid I rode my bike to little league games. Insanely different. |

Date: November 16th, 2021 8:01 PM Author: sooty know-it-all cuckoldry corner What part of the country are you in? Travel basketball in 3rd grade sounds insane bc most kids can still barely dribble and like .01% can have their eyes up while dribbling comfortably and a high speed with both hands. My sons experience of basketball at this age is like soccer in KG ie one larger kid grabs the rebound sort of bothers to dribble and mostly runs carrying the ball down to the other basket and then misses a layup. I have a good friend who has a son that’s a junior with D1 offers who plays on a very high level AAU team and he said it was all bullshit and he taught the kid all the basketball he knew until he started AAU and camps in the summers when he was going into 7th grade.

Date: November 17th, 2021 9:25 AM Author: rusted talented box office the part of the country where basketball is religion.
it's basically a miniaturized version of high school basketball. all the public high schools have development programs that start from 2nd grade through 6th (7th and beyond they're on the middle school/high school team). so, he wears the same jersey as the HS, gets at least 1x HS game he can go to with the team and be in the locker room at halftime, etc.
the games are high quality. man-2-man defense only, full court press allowed under 2min, high school refs tightly calling traveling/moving screens, etc. his team generically runs a motion offense but they have like 3 set plays as well.
he got cut during 2nd grade tryouts (3x days, 2hrs each, cuts every round), but we worked on his game (focused on his jump shot form + learning one really solid go-to move, a Carmello jab step) and he made (starts for) the 3rd grade team. i knew he had a shot during tryouts when the evaluators grabbed him + the 'best' kid from two different courts and intentionally matched them up.
aau will happen organically. the games are definitely scouted + players end up finding peer talent and forming teams.

Date: November 17th, 2021 9:44 AM Author: rusted talented box office - you underestimate the desire of some kids to want to battle. it's a very real need for some of them, and not necessarily in a 'violent/angry' way. my kid is generally all about laughing and having a good time, but when he's on the court he's stoic af, has never once backed down from anyone, and has told me he likes the feeling of being out there. it's very rare to have a relatively safe/structured environment for some physical confrontation*** to occur and this level of sports provides that.
- extremely unlikely to make the school's team unless they're in a competitive program from 3rd or 4th grade. i was shocked at the skill level these kids play at across the board.
*** modern schools barely allow any contact on playgrounds and physical forms of conflict resolution are absolute no-go's. i grew up with nuns allowing situations to 'play out' before intervening (usually when someone's nose started bleeding) so i personally think this is one of the most valuable things they get from this. |

Date: November 17th, 2021 12:57 PM Author: Floppy national Exactly-- ruined. But you don't have to go along with it. Can you imagine some poor kid who plays 10 years of baseball, year-round, no other organized sports. Has to fit in schoolwork between practice and games. Makes the HS varsity. Ends up getting a scholarship to Central Arkansas if he is lucky. Could have spent those ten years playing baseball-- if he liked it-- or disc golf or kick the can or whatever. Some kids like the intensity of one sport all the time, but I am not sure it is the best for the vast majority of kids. |

plus at the end of the day nothing matters more than monkey see monkey do -- if parents have work ethic and their own pursuits, for the most part kids will develop this too. I can't count how many rich kids I encountered as a tutor who did traveling sport nonsense but at the end of the day they ended up just like everyone else paying full price at some random out of state public school. more than anything else children reflect the attitude and behaviors of their parents. |

Date: December 4th, 2022 4:05 PM Author: Adventurous pit A year later now. The team opened a new in door facility. I'm thousands of dollars deep. My kid is smashing the fuck out of the ball. He played an age level up last year and the difference at this level is very noticeable. We've gone a little crazy though. In addition to his primary team I've had him doing hitting camps and fallball with another club (2x a week). The new club has been around for decades and they really know their shit, but they don't do our age group.
All told we're doing baseball: tue, wed, fri, sat x2 (am batting and afternoon fielding) and once a month private lessons on mon. Keep in mind I have two girls that do ballet 6 days a week. I'm basically a shuttle service. It's probably too much but my kid eats it up. He wants me to sign him up for more.
