Yes!! My kids play team sports with the neighborhood kids. They pick the games, they stop when they want to, they disagree and call out cheaters and it’s all in fun. My husband and I are not run ragged, or out late, or missing church.

From a parent who has an older group of public school kids and a younger group of homeschool kids I 100% agree with these opinions. Especially about not being busy all the time. It's amazing what a childs mind can create when they are bored!

[@cde495]

Same for us! We’re a blended family and the older three are each in school sports that the other parents support. We don’t at all. Our younger 4 (also homeschooled) will not participate in organized sports.

I love your unpopular opinions. I agree with them. My kids are allowed 1 activity each in addition to church activities. That activity can't be competitive or meet more than once a week. We make exceptions during soccer season which are 2 games a week for 6 weeks.

Personally as someone who was never in competitive anything I see the benefit of competitive sports / dance etc for character development. The diligence and application it takes to take it seriously and to strive to do better each time is what I find admirable. That said, my kids are not in competitive sports but if they wanted to pursue something with seriousness I’m all ears!

I 100% agree with this. When I was younger, we played just our school offered sports. We played other teams at the same school or did the occasional scrimmage at a neighboring school. Then in high school, we did actual "competition". Sports are taken way too serious for kids at too young of an age. I always feel bad for the kids because there's so much unnecessary pressure. My family did sports purely for fun! I coached for 2 years and stepped away because the parents were too much to deal with.

I loved hearing your thoughts on this!

We sign our kids up for soccer through our rec center. It's so cute watching 4 and 5 year olds running after the ball and trying to score. We signed them up again for fall. They like it so much.

[@reclaimingwonder]

Agreed! I think I share a lot of the same unpopular opinions as you! It’s nice to know I’m not alone 😅

[@rebeccawilson7953]

I agree, we have put my girls on the ymca teams but I have co workers who’s kids have played club for years and has cost thousands of dollars a year. It’s crazy.

I was a competitive swimmer and now my 10 and 8 year olds competitively swim and they love it. No injuries and super good exercise. Not all sports ruin your body but I get what you’re saying. I also enjoy watching them compete

Thanks so much for this video!

[@simplyamymarie1454]

100% agree

[@lisaroper421]

Oh, yes! We live in a small town 3 hrs away from all the other teams. If you do sports here you really spend your life driving all over creation. Not worth it!
