[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS plays HS soccer and also plays soccer for a club. It was a hellish schedule between the 2 for the fall. I couldn’t believe what a huge commitment the HS team was. He never had enough time for homework so sleep was sacrificed. On his HS team all the kids play travel so I don’t know if he could be competitive without it. But I also know that being on the HS team was great for him socially so I feel badly asking him to give that up.

From what I understand, most of his HS friends who play baseball, will no longer be playing travel. They have unofficial summer and fall ball HS teams and then play the official HS season on the spring. There are even winter workouts. [/quote]

Yeah.  Soccer is brutal.  And both the Club coach and high school coach place demands on the kids.  So many end up injured from doing two workouts a night.  After school with high school until 5–and then to club later that night.  And at our private the travel to away games can be brutal in traffic, and some are far drives.  Not to mention the very long high school season.  Like 20 games this year.

Everyone on the high school team plays travel, and on high level teams.

I had my kid only play travel spring season one year because it was just too much.  He is a straight A honor/AP student and the course load with zero time was crazy.[/quote]
