For prep leagues having a lot of pretty good kids makes a top team. My kids are older and my oldest is finishing his college career this spring. A lot has changed since he was recruited and all for the worse. DC area parents just seem to forget why kids want to try sports to begin with. Here's a hint: their reason wasn't to get noticed by a college coach. Here's another hint: what's most important to parents on this board are things a middle school age kids would never come up with on their own. Let your kid enjoy sports. It goes by fast and it isn't something any kid can get back later. So get out of their way and let them do that.


Great point. Except parents up here in Baltimore have the same problem
