The kid needs to socialize with his peers too. I loved camping and hunting with my dad, but there needs to be a mix of both in my mind.

No question. I agree 100%. Unfortunately organized sports these days are out of hand. These kids are not able to be kids anymore. Between the homework and extra cirricular activities that are expected of them.
I will agree with you that youth sports are out of control. I believe that kids are way to specialized in one sport. I know they have to be to be competitive. It is rare for one kid to be competitive in more than one sport anymore. Unfortunate in my eyes that they have to pick at an early age to specialize in one sport. I don’t agree with you in that a kid should not be expected to participate in extracurriclar activities. I think that needs to be the childs choice not expected of them. I also agree that sports are a great way for kids to interact with other kids.
