Hello,
My son plays travel soccer and baseball and we love it! Here's why:
Alex, our 9 year old is a talented athlete and we enjoy watching him improve, compete and play.
It gets us out and about - see new towns, enjoy the weather.
It's highly social - we truly enjoy our travel families. We socialize with them and the families get together regularly.
Sports keep kids out of trouble. If you're too busy travelling, practicing, playing and having fun, there's no time for trouble or getting in with the wrong crowd.
My little one loves it too. Our 4 year old plays with all the siblings. They all run around together outside.
It's something we do as a family.
There's a great sense of pride that comes with playing and supporting travel sports.
Teaches good sportsmanship and other life lessons: life's not always fair (bad calls), be a team player, be a good loser and winner, be supportive when things don't go well, etc.
And all this comes from a woman that doesn't have an athletic bone in her body!
