There was a recent article in Time Magazine about how kids sports are turning professional. I notice that in my world too. Last week we actually had a sell-out at my son’s high school football game– you had to get your tickets a week in advance (and the game went until almost midnight). This week we can only buy tickets online. Do you notice kids sports becoming more “professional” too?
