I completely disagree.
Look at the dumb jocks that can't read, write, do math.... Public or competitive leagues. If sports is more important (or demeed that way)
by parents because they play in competative leagues. Something is wrong.
Why american kids don't measure up in the real world achedemically.
Hoping your kids blow out their ACL.

That's odd, I am in an IT shop of very smart people, and out of 9 of us only one of us didn't play sports. Our best tech just left us, and prior to working here he was a Defensive captain out of Notre Dame and played a short time in the NFL.
But I guess since he is a big, black, jock, he was just pretending to be extremely intellegent.
There are 2 types of leagues: recreational and competitive. Rec leagues are for fun, everybody makes the team, and everybody plays. Competive leagues are there to compete, and if you suck you don't make the team. 99% of all competitive leagues are more talented that rec leagues. The only exception is is you have a rec league where you have automatics, and you play with the same kids year after year, (which allows you to pick your own team and keep out the scrubs).
99.9999999999% of people won't play sports professionally. If your kids likes winning and is good enough, let them play competitive. If they don't care and aren't very good, let them play rec leagues. I had just as much fun playing YMCA baseball as any other kid had playing 3-2. I had just as much fun playing SSJAA youth football, as any other kid had playing Pop Warner.
