Youth sports parents are nuts, it's a weird mix of jocks and nerd parents

Jocks are annoyed their kids have to play against shit tier uncoordinated children of nerdy parents.
Nerds and Losers are palpably anxious and trying to recreate an image of themselves in their kids.
As a result there are just too many fucking kids and all of these leagues have been watered down, if you want serious competition you have to quit your job and train with them for 6 hours a day and travel all over within a 300 mile vicinity every single weekend for the whole year.

Hi!
Stop thinking it's actually about the sport. You can't tell who might even possibly have a hint of real talent until they're ~15. Before that your time investment is for the barrier between your kids and the rest of the poor masses.

tcr right here
my kid never did travel aau, and at times had seasons he averaged like 1pt a game because he was focused on lock down d and making passes. anyone who paid attention to +/- at the time could visibly see the difference when he was in versus on the bench, so the signs were there if you knew what to look for

Kids are sorted very early. You no longer have athletic children playing alongside non-athletic children.
On one hand it's good because there's an appropriate level for every kid. The lesser athletes can still be an integral part of a team rather than standing on the field while the athletic kids dominate the ball and play.
On the other hand, it's created an entire generation of psychotic parents who feel pressure to force their 8 year-olds to specialize in a single sport, train every day, and be on the most competitive team they can find for fear of being left out and ignored by college scouts.
People need to fucking relax. Let your kids enjoy learning a sport and the life lessons that come along with being on a team. If they aren't self-motivated to train every day to get to the absolute top level, then they are never going to get there and no amount of private training can replace internal drive.

Yeah i mean you have to sign your kid up for shit. There are levels for everything. You have rec and then varying levels of travel teams ranging from playing neighboring towns on the weekends to weekly out of state tournaments. Most kids do sports at some level at least until around 13 or so when many call it quits.
There are delusional parents that equate having the same commitments as elite teams with actually being elite. It's like how guys started wearing colorful socks because some article was released that this was a sign of high IQ. None of these parents stop to think "are there really 7 teams worth of elite athletes in this sport at every age in this limited geographic area?" The answer is no. Allow your kid's interests to steer the ship. Provide them opportunities to pursue interests and what they naturally gravitate to is where they should be spending their time.

Per above I don’t go in for all this that you describe, but to the extent I push my kid to do 10 hours a week instead of 3 it’s for four reasons in decreasing levels of importance: 1) he builds an athletic base of fitness and learns how to change his body to make it more strong, lean, capable, which is a critical life skill, 2) he makes friends with kids who have an easy context to deepen their friendships and have a healthy outlet to compete and workout the social heirarchy dynamics that come with being a teenager with some amount of natural pro-social orientation (ie I would feel differently about this part if he was autistic), 3) he plays a sport that he can play casually as an adult as a shortcut to socializing and making friends as I did, and being good at it rigs those interactions so that he has the alpha group status, 4) if he busts his ass and becomes a varsity starter by 12th grade, combined with his academic aptitude, it will likely be a plus for college applications if he wants to go, and so far he insists that he does.

The problem is there are too many people making money off of youth sports right now.
A volunteer baseball coach is never going to be like "Your kid needs to practice me 5X a week year round, but a coach trying to justify you paying htem $5,000 is going to do that.
Every program my kids do - whether its swimming or basketball or piano - there's some fucking peddler telling us the kid has real promise and we need to get them going more.
The best example of this is dance. All these 8 year old girls are going to dance for 12 hours a week and 20 full weekend competitions a year - for what? Could anyone even begin to explain what thsi is for?
