[quote=Anonymous]So we're now seven years in to travel soccer. and my son is U15  Even my son was shocked to hear that he has now played travel for half his life.  His energy finally surpasses our energy as parents.  He is a stellar student beginning high school.  He's not going to be a pro or D1 player.  Four practices a week with multiple APs and honors classes, and debate and Model UN, will take their toll.  He also plays futsal and loves it.  He hates the coaches who run his high school program (it's private and he played JV high school beginning in 7th grade, but they are clowns who ordered him to stop playing futsal, which is not only stupid, but a nonstarter for him and only confirmed for him that they are idiots).  I thought he would eventually decide to focus elsewhere, as I did in eighth grade when I grew slow and played and went to school with players who were clearly moving on (and went to UVA and other programs in the 80s).  But he is now growing and enjoying it.  I don't think the juice is worth the squeeze.  But I don't want to make decisions for my son.  Thoughts?[/quote]
