Okay, so what then for these Non-Travel kids? Rec-ball plays what from April to maybe June if you are fortunate that the kids and parents stay with the program and show up. Now for another nine months the kids are back on their electronics disengaged from physical activity as well as the world around them? Isn’t it better to have them active in sports, meeting new friends and seeing other places? Or wait I could spend money going to crowded tourist destinations to wait in line to spend money to engage them briefly most likely not physically for a short period of time before they retreat into their electronic fantasy world again. Travel sports gives children physical activity which creates endorphins in their brains as well as engaging their muscles to burn off excess energy created by their rapidly changing bodies they are struggling to learn to control. Tell me what other activities I can find to supplement those same things while keeping my child safe and engaged in the world?
At the end of the day just like college there are many different levels of travel sports financially, skill level and geographical boundaries of travel. From my perspective, every child that plays a travel sport is a child less likely to end up on the wrong side of the glass so I’m all in for travel.
