Argentines take their sport very seriously- even more seriously than Australians!
All of our 4 kids are playing sport at the local club- the girls play Volleyball and the boys Basketball. (Jacob is playing even though he can´t get the ball even close to the hoop at the moment). They train for an hour/hour and a half 3 times a week. That's right -three times a week. Just as well for us it 100m from home otherwise we could never do it. On Fridays they are all down there together- I spent a really nice couple of hours reading on the grass while they were all involved.
And the seriousness is also seen in that they have proper coaches. Argentina is big on professionalism in every area. If you don't have the title or the piece of paper then you won't be able to do it. So our kids coaches aren't just Mums or Dads giving a bit of time. They are all qualified sports coaches (or training to be). But fortunately that doesn't mean the costs are too prohibitive.
