Travel teams and the 12 month thing that you have to do because everyone else is doing and if you don't, you lose and that is driving this bus.   Parents spend a lot of time and money and the "pressure" of this whole debacle is beyond ridiculous.  I agree 100% with what IC said about playing 2 or 3 sports but that is getting to be more and more difficult because of the demands on kids/parents to play that 12 month schedule and if you don't do it, somebody will be right there to take your place.

Kids have their schedules made out for them.  No, impromptu games...no creation of fun.  We are creating human robots that unfortunately will break down because of the demands of playing one sport for 12 months or just plain and simply end up hating the sport.

As for as entitled, yes...they pay money and want results.  They want to sometimes live through their kid/ego or get that scholarship which for a huge percent will be elusive and probably will end up being more of an academic thing (NY kids) instead and not a free ride.
