[quote=Anonymous]My son has played rec with me as the dad coach (never played but coach other HS sports) since he was 6/7 up to this spring. He is going into middle school next year, and we talked about some of his sports goals (what he wants to play, how far he wants to go, end game). He said he wanted to play for the high school team, so we talked that middle school might be the right time to step it up a little. I teach at the HS and know a lot of the players. Most were upper level travel players so it made sense to us to consider travel. Despite not having any travel experience, we just went through all the local tryouts and received offers from all the clubs for B and C teams. He got smoked by most of the A team players, but was able to hang with the b/c teams. Not bad considering he only practices twice a week and plays other sports during fall and winter. I would say let the kids have fun and develop at their own rate. Play other sports, and when they get older, talk to your kid and see if they want to focus more on one sport or not. Vv[/quote]
