    Why is it that school Sports cost so much?
    The cost of activities that was once used as molding and guidance tools are ridiculous. I remember having to be involved in an extracurricular activity when growing up. […]

    • I really pity you for the situation. The situation is not so pitiable with India as the Govts and Administrators doing somewhat better realizing and feeling the element of social responsibility.

    • Yes, you say right the situation you have written in your article is worst due to lack of responsibility of the government but in all countries the situation is not the same but I say in my country the situation of game and ground is very and no government and administrators do not pay attention to sports.

      Children play games in the streets and on the roads breaks daily someone ‘s bike or car glasses unknowingly playing on the road. The government must pay attention to this problem.

      The article has elicited all kinds of opinions on parenting, spoiled children, bad coaching, and ridiculous rules and regulations in youth sports leagues. It brought up talk of the Philadelphia dad who was suing for $40 million because his son got cut from the track team, and the Dallas father who brought a racketeering suit against a lacrosse camp. They are a reflection of so much of what is wrong in youth sports today.

      You don’t sue and waste precious taxpayer time and money because your child is not getting playing time. Your daughter says she isn’t even sure she wants to play college volleyball! Mom also wrote to the coach, “It is important that she plays, and plays the position you offered her of setter as that is the position she plays in high school.”

      Really? You don’t get to tell a coach where your kid plays. Just be a parent, let the coach be the coach, and let the game belong to your child. The parents in this case have taken a teachable moment and ruined it

    • Nobody cares about the children anymore they see $$$

    • I know of families is our area that homeschool. They tell me that they’ve enjoined most of their older children to activities, such as drama acting workshops, self-defense, sports, youth choirs…etc. The parents and the children believe mutually believe that they are benefiting from them.
