[quote=Anonymous]Parent of a 7 year old boy who has been playing rec soccer for a few years now (minus spring and fall 2020 due to Covid). He really likes it and always scores multiple goals during the “game” portion of practice. He is not big but he’s very tall and a faster runner than most kids his age. But I really don’t know if he’s actually decent or if the other kids on his team are just not that good/interested. Do the truly promising kids get recruited to pre-travel by now, or do parents initiate that process by having their kids try out? I don’t want him to do travel anytime soon — too much of a time commitment with other stuff right now — but just wondering if it’s something we are supposed to pursue eventually if he wants to do it or if someone will approach us if he’s really good enough for it. Can you tell I didn’t do sports like this as a kid? I was good at “racing” sports so the “ball” sports are like a mystery to me. I’m realizing I know how to position my son well for sports similar to what I did but I don’t want him to miss out on opportunities with soccer if it’s something he really enjoys. What should we be doing in the next couple of years if he continues to really like soccer? [/quote]
