Mom & Dad, are you listening to me?- THE KIDS SPEAK
Colored_baseball.gif
    Several recent studies have shown that between 70 and 75% of kids drop out of organized sports by age 13. Organized by whom?--ADULTS.
    Jim Sundberg, a former major league player, and his wife, Janet, a psychologist, wrote a book called "Sports Parenting" in which they included the following survey of what boys and girls like MOST and LEAST about playing sports. Here goes:
             BOYS
MOST                   LEAST
1.Relationships       1.Losing
2.Having fun          2.Parental pressure
3.Competition          3.Degrading comments
4.Developing character    about performance

             GIRLS
MOST                   LEAST
1.Relationships       1.Losing
2.Developing character 2.Time Commitment
3.Competition          3.Parental pressure
4.Having fun

Enough said?

- - www.sportsparenting.org - - What a Concept !!!!!!
    At a time when youth sports has become "big business", and the general anxiety level regarding kids' athletic development and performance rises seemingly day by day, we are disturbed to note the paradox of parents leaving it to the "experts" when the stark reality is that serious issues of their own children's physical and emotional well being are at stake.
    The truth is that ultimate responsibility for a child's welfare lies with the parents and that only through involvement and education can parents protect their children from becoming "casualties" of organized sports.
    Resources are available. The web site listed above is a terrific source of information on a wide range of youth sports issues. Just click on it for instant access.
    Click on the "Parent's Page" at left as well for a list of resources available to those people who believe their children deserve the best that youth sports has to offer.
    Remember, -No involvement, No change.
