You're a cartoon who thankfully never reproduced. Rec leagues are everywhere, but the talent pool isn't.
If you dominate a rec league (by the time you're 10) you get asked to join travel clubs or AAU.

Club tournaments are big time cash, you pay for parking, you pay for entry, and since your kid is stuck there for 3 games minimum, you pay for the over-priced pizzas and snacks.
