Message: [QUOTE="BlazeOrange, post: 1079642, member: 683"] We went to visit my parents for the holiday weekend. When we got there, the neighbor kids were out back playing soccer. My two kids, including my daughter who plays on three soccer teams, went to join them. At that point, they immediately switched to kickball because they finally had enough players to do it. This anecdote proves nothing, but it was nice to see some kids playing a pickup game of any kind. I do think that organized sports has impacted unorganized games for kids though, as there just isn't the appeal to get a neighborhood game going in a sport that they already practice a couple times a week, then have a "real" game or two on other days. Or times available where a large enough group can get together to do anything. [/QUOTE]
