No. Travel ball has far more parental interest amongst both moms and dads.

Parents should funnel all that money and time on a weekend lake or beach house with boats/jet ski's instead of pouring thousands a year into travel kid stuff. Then they'd actually have something tangible once the kid gets burned out and heads on to college life.

Too many times parents get caught up in travel sports for the socializing and they enjoy it more than their kids ever did.

in terms of straight ROI I don't think there's a single investment that beats paying for your daughter's wedding. $25k and you're off the hook for the rest of her life.


You got off cheap man.
I just married one off April 2nd and it was easily 3 times that figure and it was nothing super fancy.

I don't know, my son wrestles at club level, 14U School boy. He wrestles for 4 minutes, sometimes shorter, then sits for an hour, hour and a half..

We have another freestyle/Greco tournament this weekend at St Paul's.

At least at dance competitions you can enjoy the music, and look at the moms... Hot moms are limited at wrestling tournaments.

Only benefit besides watching your daughter do something she loves would be if you are a single dad. Have access to plenty of single milf's.

You're spending 10s of thousands to teach your daughter to do what exactly?


To be fair here, there’s not much difference in this and travel baseball. How many of those boys are actually going to even play at a major college program? It’s just a hobby. They’re all expensive. It’s building character and teaching kids how to be responsible working with other kids as a group.
