[quote=Top-Bins][quote=UnidentifiedFlyingOboe]DS has been playing soccer since kindergarten. Right now he plays for a team that ranks in top 10 in Virginia (according to GotSoccer, for reference only, please do not argue with me). The team practice and play games year round, and win tournaments from time to time. He is a mediocre player on the team, but he seems to have a lot of playing time.

Coming Fall he is going to be in 9th grade. He wants to try other sports (crew, wrestling, XC), and I would like him to expand his interest a bit and try some after school clubs (music, art, etc.), but he feels he has to give up those opportunities to play with his soccer team. He is committed to his team, or maybe it just has become a habit.

Also he is not a top student, so I'd like him to prioritize academics over activities. After all, he needs good grades to get into a good college.

What would you do in my place? Continue or stop travel soccer? TIA

I would say stop travel and let him do HS sports next year and see how he likes it, he can always go back to travel soccer if he misses it. [/quote]
