[quote=psuedo;343864]All these sports are getting expensive, but if you look at it as your son or daughter is getting great exercise and they are being babysat for a few hours per week and they are having fun. Keep in mind that the coaches on most if not all teams do not get paid and the same goes for the assistant coaches.
Another benefit of kids in sports is learning to be a team player.
I also believe that kids that are really involved in sports are less likely to get themselves in trouble as they get older. A kid playing hockey and baseball just doesn't have the free time on his/her hands to get involved with the wrong crowd. Kids that hang around are more likely to get themselves in trouble. Although sports are getting very expensive, it is still IMO money well spent.
