You say that early recuiting makes kids quit the sport they love. And you say they have no fun because there is 8-9 grade kids talking to colleges. How do these two things compare. Kids in the 80s cared about winning and losing the same as kids do today. Just because today they have a large web of teams and ways to bring the better kids together does not mean they have less fun. The only stress is on the parents and there pocket books. If you let this stress get passed down on them thats on you as a parent. But as for the kids they love playing more and playing the best kids the can play.
