Too much soccer?

[Anonymous]

When is soccer too much? Today I saw young kids in Mclean area practicing and parents running drills when instead the kids should be enjoying being a kid. These weren't 11 or 12 year old kids but looked to be 9 or even 8. Is everyone training 5 or 6 days a week isn't that harmful to the kid? At what point should social services be involved? Over training can cause long term affects am I right?

Social services should definitely be involved. This looks like a serious case of parental abuse to me. I believe one of these kids has even referred to these as "inappropriate soccer practices with her dad" in a diary that has somehow fallen into my hands.

Lol. Op. My 9 year old loves it. Her team practices 3x a week for 1.75 hours. She’s got two games tomorrow.

I’m the one who told her she couldn’t play town, which would’ve added another practice and travel game on Saturday. I said no bc it was too much for my family, not too much for her.

Her 9 year old bestie is on a team above her and the town team and currently 600 miles away at a tournament.

How about you do you and let the rest of us worry about our own kids.

Hahahahaha! This made me laugh.

My ds entire U10 level do some sort of soccer at least 6/7 days of the week. I have to force my son to stop 5/7 days but on his off days, he is still juggling, practicing turns, running drills, passing on the wall or looking for an extra pickup game to play in. They have formal practice 3 days/ week but I see his teammates doing lots of extra practices with private groups and coaches on the side. Social services would be locking up the entire radius of top dmv clubs.

I’m assuming these kids and the team are very good then?

I don’t understand the point of your question. What makes you think these kids are practicing soccer an unreason anoint when you saw them once on a Saturday morning?

[Anonymous]

My 8 year old went to pick up this morning after having practiced 3 days this week. Pretty much par for the course for any travel player around here.

For the love of the children we must make them play less soccer
Make sure they stay inside and wear a mask for their safety.

Child protective services should be contacted if you see children without masks with their parents.
