Thanks. We started our son on fitness classes a few years ago for injury recovery & injury prevention (flexibility). They actually enjoy the classes and are learning their way around a gym. Back of mind, long term is they do end up giving up organized sports at least they may stay healthy with some fitness regimen.

Teammates last year were not nice nor was coach but this year coach is much better and a couple of trouble makers left so chemistry is slightly better.  To dwell a bit in stereotypes, I would say my kid is not a 'jock' or a "soccer bro". A bit more reserved and laid back. Not really gunning for a scholarship or pro offer, but, if they wanted, think they could compete for a D1 team.

Think the time issue is the biggest one. Homework this year ramped up to a severe level and with practices sometimes going very late, it's just getting harder and harder to get everything done and get enough sleep. He is up many days at 6am finishing off whatever homework they couldn't get done the night before. Think this is leading to some resentment of soccer taking away time from other things (i.e. it's intense homework or intense sports--very little down time). [/quote]
