It deserves it's own thread.

It is absurd what is happening in youth sports.

Or high school/college sports in general. An education seems to be a low priority by-product, if that.

My youngest son is in high school band for his first year and they are mid practice week since two weeks ago. He fell out with heat exhaustion on Friday afternoon and we aren't anywhere near tupelo** so its bad everywhere

I played golf today and it was very pleasant. "Only" about 90. Much "cooler" than earlier in the week.

The adults are the problem, just let kids be kids. Travel ball probably eliminates more talented players with Burn out than it does build major leaguers.

Need to go back to the tee ball days, with moms yelling "that's 5!", and bring CapriSuns for the kids.

Naw need to play 100 games a summer, practice all off season and not play any other sports, blow kids arms out and have them burned out by the time they are 14. And pay thousands of dollars a year doing it.

The adults are the problem

I bet this kid is going to be so well adjusted later in life when it comes to being responsible for his own decisions.

Some kids need to learn to say no too.

That’s laughable. It’s the parents decision on all things
