If you are truly concerned about your student-athlete son or daughter
then you will not want to miss this panel discussion. This is a “must attend” open discussion with questions and answers for parents, coaches, travel team members, referees and umpires, athletes and anyone interested in youth sports.
Here’s a sampling of topics that will be addressed plus much more:
Why do so many sports parents seem to have a problemwith their kid’s coach?
What’s the long-range impact of travel teams on traditional
High School Varsity programs?
What’s the right age for a young athlete to specialize in a sport?
Is athletic “burn-out” a real issue for today’s kids?
What’s the truth about getting your child a college scholarship for sports?
