[quote=Anonymous]At 9, we let our DD skip 1 practice a week (out of 3 practices per week), if she wanted to. Sometimes she was too tired, sometimes she wanted to play with friends in the neighborhood instead. We did this to prevent burnout at his age...I'm a travel coach, and most kids get burnout with 3 practices per week. We noticed our kid had more passion when we let skip sessions. She is 10 now, and we still let her skip sessions. Also, kids respond well to better weather. Maybe with a small break and some better weather, he will come around? Also, be sure to only tell him how much you liked watching him play! Don't criticize or correct any of his playing aspect. I certainly can't coach my own daughter, I give lots of praise and let other coaches help her improve. Good luck! A no pressure environment with a little space, will help to reignight the passion.
