Message: [QUOTE="IthacaBarrel, post: 879772, member: 363"] It's definitely getting worse. In my area, the two worst are lacrosse and soccer, they want kids playing 12 months a year, same sport. The move to play one sport at such a young age is absurd. I just don't get involved. I get phone calls as to why my oldest daughter isn't playing indoor lacrosse from some coach just 2 weeks ago, my response is always because she is 11 and she is swimming twice a week at Ithaca College and having a lot of fun doing it. My wife always runs to pick up the phone when she knows one of these calls are coming in. I love getting into it with some of these helicopter/ psycho parents. What changed is all these club teams with adults making their living off coaching these kids. In my day and most of our day, the best athletes I knew played 2-3 sports. [/QUOTE]
