I'm talking about Youth Sports today.
This is a subject that can be extremely touchy.
If you are new around here X has been involved in soccer, football, baseball, basketball, etc. since he was 3 years old.
Each year things get more competitive.
There are so many sides to youth sports these days.
I would love to get your take on it.
At what age/level does it go from the kids having fun to being competitive?
When does it go from everyone gets equal playing time to based on skill level?
Should they get participation trophies? At what age does that stop?
At what age/level are "cuts" implemented?
Like I said above, this is a touchy subject for most people.
I think your opinion can even change based on where your child may land.
I'm not looking for a fight or to offend anyone here.
It has just been a hot topic around these parts recently, and I would love to hear how it is handled in over parts of the country/world.
Thanks as always for stopping by!

Here is Oregon. Youth sports can be competitive as early as kindergarten depending on organization your playing in or pop warner. As far as cuts they typically split by skill level early too. But definitely by 6th grade. And cuts do not happen until high school.
