The other thing that bugs me is that if your kids want to do well in a sport, they pretty much have to play it year-round now.
Take my 14-year-old. He really wanted to make the HS soccer team (and did). But the competition is tight enough that you really need to be playing club in the winter & spring, and do camps all summer.
I don't know about the rest of you, but when I was in HS, you did a different sport each season and that seemed better.
Now, excuse me for a sec as I go yell at some kids on my lawn.
