Oh, I’m not saying die on a hill here....

...but the job as a parent is to give information, steer in right direction, and hope they make the right choices, but to also teach them to live with consequences of their decisions (right or wrong).

I also certainly wouldn’t give a rats ass what any of the other parents from either team think of whatever decision is made.

Poll for parents of kids that play travel/select sports -- Dan1993 03/07/2019 10:03PM

If one team may forfeit, play for them. Helps the other kids more, IMHO.** -- 48zip 03/08/2019 08:40AM

In my experience, you play one or the other, not both. -- BG Hokie 03/08/2019 08:38AM

IMO, that's the BIGGEST problem with youth sports today (besides parents). -- vthokieq 03/08/2019 08:54AM

I meant travel or house as one or the other. Didn't realize we were talking -- BG Hokie 03/08/2019 09:22AM

I don't think the coach has any -- 48zip 03/08/2019 07:46AM

I only disagree on 1 aspect of that. When they joined the team, they made -- Late 80s Hokie 03/08/2019 08:03AM

Agry 100%. Just don't let the coach make THIS decision. -- 48zip 03/08/2019 08:37AM

Fwiw, AAU -1.** -- astrohokie 03/07/2019 10:49PM

What do kids want to do? There’s your answer. ** -- CPRVHokie 03/07/2019 10:32PM

Would you let your kid decide and just go with that? -- Dan1993 03/07/2019 10:43PM

If it was between 2 teams? Yes I would let my kids decide. -- Betabeachbum 03/07/2019 11:24PM

(I apologize-not trying to debate you,but trying to understand other logic) ** -- Dan1993 03/07/2019 10:46PM

All good. Let the kid decide between two commitments. There is a binary -- CPRVHokie 03/07/2019 10:51PM

Agree, but I’d also point out that there is a difference... -- vthokieq 03/07/2019 11:23PM

That’s probably the right choice, but it isn’t a hill I’m dying on as a da -- CPRVHokie 03/08/2019 07:45AM

My first reaction was "you paid a bunch for travel, and it's (probably) -- Late 80s Hokie 03/08/2019 07:31AM

You prepay for your travel? ** -- vthokieq 03/08/2019 07:53AM

Mostly, yes. If the team chooses to do an extra tournament or event, then -- Late 80s Hokie 03/08/2019 08:17AM

That's not what I'm talking about... -- vthokieq 03/08/2019 08:22AM

Yes. At this point, our "Travel" team is local travel only. It's U10, so -- Late 80s Hokie 03/08/2019 09:29AM

OH...and....I find it likely that the soccer team will still have enough -- Late 80s Hokie 03/08/2019 07:33AM
