[QUOTE="kornbread, post: 5640149, member: 10542"] I played from the time I was 4 till 21 years old. The format that the Rec leagues have adopted is the problem in my opinion. They try to shadow high school team schedules. Start at beginning of March and be finished by mid May. When I was playing we started at first of May and played till mid July usually 3 games a week. Both my sons played this year and we played typically 2-3 nights a week with a tournament on the weekend. We ended 31-9 on the season. I opted not to deal with travel ball and give them a break before football started in July. So I figured I did the right thing but everyday when I get home from work they are waiting on me to throw and play ball in the yard 🤷♂️ I personally think it depends on the kid and whether the parent is trying to live through them and make them play. I was burnt out at the age of 20 but had already played 2 seasons in college. I quit football my senior year after committing to a college to play baseball. I regret that. I played my whole life with a group of guys to watch them get beat by a touchdown in the play offs by the team that won the state that year. Would’ve could’ve should’ve I guess. [/QUOTE]
