[quote=Anonymous]My DS plays U11 travel soccer and was recently identified as a close contact of a classmate who tested positive for covid. DS must now quarantine for about a week.  When I told DS, one of his first comments was being happy he could miss soccer practice and the upcoming game. We talked about what he wasn’t enjoying.  He stated he still likes soccer but indicated he wasn’t enjoying the club anymore.  We could look into switching teams but the aspects he said he doesn’t like I believe he would encounter on any travel team.  He used to talk about being a pro player when he grows up (yes, I know….) but also I’d noticed his passion seemed to be waning while he’s taken an interest in 2 other sports over the last few months.

In any case, I think he should take some time off from travel and play rec in the spring (if he’s still interested). Maybe this is the end of his travel soccer career, but maybe he’ll decide in a year or 2 that he still loves it and wants to return.  How difficult would this be? I’d appreciate hearing from anyone whose kid took some time off from competitive soccer.  [/quote]
