So we took our track team to southern Illinois for a meet tomorrow and we are sharing a floor with a travel baseball team of what appear to be 7th or 8th graders. The parents had a couple of coolers in the lobby, then a bunch of them headed over to the bar across the parking lot. Some of them are stumbling back now.

Travel sports are more for the parents than the kids.

I am not seeing the problem unless you were hoping to get an invite to join them.

Yeah because only travel baseball parents have coolers and drink too much. FWIW I was well behaved last night and only knocked back six beers and came home early enough to miss the Cubs losing.

Why is this even a thread?

My oldest son played a little travel ball. We were probably the most popular group at every tourney- we won a grand total of one game, always had beer, and, unverified by me personally, at least two of the couples were all-out swingers!

I did manage to make a complete fool of myself at a middle-school basketball tourney, when one of the other dad's brought out a fifth of bourbon, which he and I proceeded to finish. The whole motel floor heard me blowing chunks that next morning...

I drove one of those electric carts out of a grocery store in Jacksonville IL. I had my case of beer in the front basket. The clerks all chased after me. I abandoned cart before I got to the car. That shitty downstate town deserved by assholery.

I've generally found youth hockey parents to be better at partying as a group when on the road.

Count me among the others in this thread who don't find "adults drink alcohol at occasion" a compelling thread topic.

Aren't travel sports about spending time with your kids?
