Opinions on optimal time to join club sports?
Hey everyone. I'm a swim coach and honestly have been less impressed with a majority of club swim programs these days than when I was a kid. I currently coach a rec team and don't see much of a point of my kids graduating to club teams until 7th or 8th grade at the earliest. What are your opinions on when kids should join club? And when I say join club, I mean actually commit to club. All the practices and competitions and everything. What age do kids need to start doing this at?
