[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ds is playing U14 DA right now and came to us last night asking for a break. Schoolwork has been overwhelming this year and with the practice and game schedule, they haven't had a moment free most of the season.

Has anyone just taken a half or a full season off and then come back to the game? We plan to maintain the fitness classes they are taking even if not playing soccer, and he wants to go jogging with his friends who are on the cross country team. I just wonder if they could get back into an elite level following a bit of a break. Anyone BTDT?

p.s. I also secretly worry about burnout. I'm not entirely sure they would come back but I don't want to close the door to it if this is just a temporary down.[/quote]

If you don't want to close the door, or you think this might be a temporary thing, why not allow him to skip a practice here or there? I am sure this is not cool in a DA environment, but it might buy you a bit of time to get through the holiday season and see if this is an ongoing problem.[/quote]
