OP may be curious about scheduling/ logistical challenges, which are likely less of an issue with stuff you do on your own. |

| Is it possible to do middle school cross country and track with travel soccer? Wondering for FCPS specifically. |

| Fall and Spring, travel soccer. Fall he also does school soccer. Spring he does track but does more field events. Winter he does flag football but it's more of a social thing than a workout. |

Yes. They may have to miss a practice or meet here or there, but should be able to do 90%. |

DS in MS: three school sports (every day after school fall, winter, spring) plus one club sport (evening practices 2x week + weekend games and local tournaments). Rec sport (basketball) in winter, sometimes additional rec type sport (flag) in the fall.
DS in HS: XC plus same club sport with same commitment. Very very difficult to maintain higher level training requirements, practice lengths/schedule, and overall wear and tear on the body. Has not been able to do supplemental training for club sport. Add in juggling with homework. I think this is the last year (sophomore) he’ll be able to do both. |

| Baseball, ultimate frisbee and dive team through high school. Fortunately (?), our kid never wanted to make commitment to compete at higher levels. The youth sports industrial complex is a mega billion dollar business that offends me on several levels. |
