?? Insights from the Youth Sports Community ?? Q3: How do you combat travel teams using the Rec program as practice, for example in basketball? Courtney shares her thoughts: "Our issue right now is with travel teams wanting to use our rec league as a practice platform, and that's not fun for the kids who are just starting out. It detracts from their experience and turns a lot of kids off. Because if you go and you get stomped every weekend, then you don’t want to come back. So, that's one of our current struggles."

?? Youth Sports Q&A Insights ?? Question 2: Do you find that you have more kids dropping out than trying new sports, or vice versa? Would it teach young people the wrong message about team sports if they just quit when it gets hard? Courtney shares her perspective: "We see way more kids trying new sports. We would love for them to stick with things through the season, but those conversations happen at home." John adds: "I agree with Courtney that conversations at home dictate those outcomes. I personally believe that kids, especially young ones, should try a variety of sports before the push to specialize takes over. A great resource on the broader topic of specializing is Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World by David Epstein."

?? Youth Sports Q&A Highlights ?? Question 13: Any sense on whether tackle football is being phased or timed out? Courtney provides insights: "Yes, we've phased out tackle football, partly due to Covid. We couldn't play for a couple of seasons. But it was on the decline even before that, and we have transitioned away from it. We've tried some different things, like tackle bar, which involves a thing around the waist – it's less contact but still retains a tackle format. And we've done 7v7, which is more of a passing league kind of thing."
