Most youth sports teams are geared around getting the devoted kids as much playing time as possible to the detriment of the kid that wants to play for fun.  My daughter loved playing soccer and was decent at it.  When she hit high school and wasn't devoted to it year round, the rest of the team basically pressured her into dropping out.  That was the only sport she did so she is now inactive except for swimming and skating occasionally with her friends.</p></blockquote><p></p>
