[QUOTE="Davy Crockett, post: 249587, member: 367"] It's what you make out of the situation and in my opinion there are so many benefits that go along with sports and extracurricular activities and they are a great form of education in themselves and leverage for making academics high on the priority list. House rules should be Poor grades or lack of proper self discipline and kids can't play and that should be at all levels whether school affiliated or not . The price of clubs was actually a good hurdle in our household , Components are affordable so our boys ordered components and put their own sets together. Oldest boy actually made some pretty good coin all through high school regripping and reshafting clubs. Once the word got out he had a lot of business but he didn't charge enough so the older gentleman in the golf community always made sure it was worth his time. Any contest is good , Spelling bees, Math counts, Geography bees, you name it it's all good. There is a difference between small own and big cities for sure but the opportunities are there and it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. And now shooting sports in bigger cities, That's awesome. pretty sure our grandkids will get into that. We traveled a lot for hockey but that was our family vacations and our family was happy with that. Good thing for us was Canadian leagues , Most towns were around 30 miles and furthest was about 60. The more towns here that have sports the less teams would have to travel. I was surprised that inhouse hockey has become less popular , Our grandkids are just getting to the age for sports and watched a couple of our oldest granddaughters hockey games, The excitement and adrenaline in her after the games was worth it . Long live youth sports. [/QUOTE]
