Far as I can tell that's every damn activity now. My oldest has friends that are already doing that- for U10. Holding off on that for as long as we can, realizing it may costs my kid a spot on the World Cup starting roster.Until they get into select soccer and travel all over the damn place.

Kids are starting swim team this summer.
Spend a few hours one night a week sitting outside having some collides with other parents, kids messing around with each other in the pool, and occasionally they race.
KIDS SPORTS!
Have a kid on my Majors team who has had an awful year. Barely hitting, making a ton of errors. Basically completely shut down and wanted to quit. Put him at 3B in the 6th inning yesterday of a 2-2 game and told him "I believe in you...give me your best." His eyes lit up and he ended up making 2 huge plays for us that inning. Came back into the dugout grinning ear to ear.
That's why I coach and volunteer. Moments like that.

Way I see it the "select" nowadays is whenever parents "select" to write a bigger check lol
Elementary cross country is the best sport ever. No investment. Run a mile and go home. No rolled bats, AAU ********, travel teams, recitals or all stars.
Lucky for my sister and her husband is that several of the girls parents are benefactors. Or at least act like it.And under 12 team that travels thousands of miles? Ha, FALSE!
Time for a new sport, kiddo.
Niece's U12 team next two months:
LA --> Houston --> Colorado --> LA again. And tournaments every weekend they aren't out of town. Kids are expensive.
From what I gather it's just usually about 2 months during the summer where they will try to fit in two tournaments that are flying(Southwest) and Colorado is a week at their training complex. So 3 flights isn't that bad.I have no kids, but if I did, pretty sure I wouldn't be flying all over the damn country for soccer tourneys, no matter how "select" they thought they were. And this is coming from someone that looks for about any excuse to hop on a plane and fly somewhere.

YOU'RE SELF ABSORBED AND DON'T CARE ABOUT KIDS YOU *******.Yeah my kids can eat **** if they think they're traveling the world for under 12 any sport.
True. I don't think any of them harbor any national team ambitions but tons of girls in this area are getting their college paid for. If that happens it's a net gain IMO. And as crazy as it sounds, colleges will be at those tournaments watching. Maybe not that young of an age group but you never know.Kids are expensive.
Crazy parents with no grasp of reality make them more expensive.
It's a fine line between "relaxing" and being "drunk mom".Geez, the dance stuff sounds miserable.
And it seems all the moms I know that go to the ballpark take a Tervis full of a cocktail for the games/practices. Can GYERO confirm or deny this?
Yeah, depends on how cool you want to be.It's a fine line between "relaxing" and being "drunk mom".
One time I humored an old girlfriend about potential future baby names (which is a terrible idea btw).
So I came up with Steven Austin. She really liked that, but wasn't sure which name she would call him.
Easy, I said. Stone Cold.
Could feel the cold ***** face stare without even looking. But it put an end to that **** promptly.
El-waysSo, how exactly do you pronounce "Cary Elwes." That last name, man. Tough one.
