[quote=Anonymous]Coach here - I can't tell you how many times I've had an older player join travel late and wonder "Man imagine what he/she'd be like if we got them at XYZ age." There probably isn't a too early for good training regardless of what "level" it's labeled as. It obviously needs to be age appropriate. The big thing is commitment level. Are you as parents willing/able to spend the extra time driving, funding etc. this effort? Is your child willing/able to put in the extra time training (including outside of practice). What are your goals for him? Sounds like he's really young (8yrs?) so he probably doesn't have his own goals yet - but those will come too. From my experience most burnout occurs between 12 and 16, as kids have competing activities, new opportunities and they stop enjoying the sport for a variety of reasons. Hope you find a coach that is a great fit for your son. Keep it positive, shop around, and don't be afraid to ASK QUESTIONS. -Coach.[/quote]
