[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Context: I have a kid who is trying to continue to level up in soccer, and his goal is to make his varsity high school team, not to play in college.

He recently joined a much higher level team, but he's the worst kid on the team based on how little playing time he gets. He likes the kids, the coach, and he wants to keep practicing with them because he thinks it's helping him improve. He also made his middle school team, which has a lot of good players (many of whom play for mid-level teams), and he's with his friends.

He is 13, and I don't want him to get injured by doing double practices. How would you have your kid prioritize practices?

He wants to get better and he wants to have fun with his friends, but I don't want him to get a stress fracture by doing 2 hour middle school practices and then 90 minute club practice with only an hour in between. He would do as many practices as he can if we let him.

Club practice T-W-Th, workouts Monday. 
Middle school practice M-T-W-Th week 1, T-W-Th week 2, T/Th rest of the year with games M or W.

My kids coach was sympathetic to the players playing club and middle school.  My daughter attended middle school practices but just juggled or something low impact. [/quote]
