[quote=Anonymous]She's got a lot of options to weigh going into high school. I had one son who had played soccer since tiny but started wrestling in high school and ended up dropping soccer after freshman year. High school can be a great time to try out some other sports, especially the ones that don't have a huge club infrastructure so you don't always need years of prior experience to fit in starting in high school. I also have a daughter who doubled down on soccer in high school and is playing high level college ball now--different kid; different choices. Think the best you can do is help her understand all her options and the cost of each one. There are fall, winter, and spring sports in HS and soccer is only one of those seasons so there should be time to fit in trying something else. Most high-school aged club teams in NCSL take a sit out for high-school season so it won't be a problem for her to keep playing club one season. If she's only going for JV and is playing at a high level now tryouts should not be much of a concern. If you're in VA, maybe if she did a different sport in the fall should could play indoor or futsal in the winter to make sure she is in form for tryouts for spring soccer. In MD maybe she could do soccer camps in the summer to get back in form for tryouts.[/quote]
