It's for fun! Just like youth hockey. You don't actually think our kids are going anywhere in hockey, do you? Get involved in their life, give them the support they need to achieve their potential (whatever that is), and have a good time while you still have the opportunity to watch them compete. Before long it'll be college bills and 30 minutes at dinner before they run out to hang with their pals.

Agree with this, but unless you want to talk about a specific couple programs or only about kids who are peewee major and older, you get more childish BS about how stupid the subject is.

Well, maybe some day parents of Mites and Squirts will realize it really is ridiculous to talk about "power rankings" of 9 year olds.
