[quote=Anonymous]I have three kids - all three play travel soccer. Two of them it is their ONLY activity outside of academics and Scouts. The middlest? He's a member of his HS Marching Band and played in the pit orchestra for the musical this spring.

He missed practices in the fall due to MB and missed Scouts due to soccer practices. His playing time at the beginning of the season reflected his lack of practice. AND HIS COACH WAS JUSTIFIED IN THAT DECISION. When he started attending practices after MB ended, his play time (and his skill level) increased. 
 
He tried out, and made the team again. Before he accepted the position, HE reached out to his coach and explained that he would be participating in MB again and would probably miss a significant amount of practices in the fall again. His coach, knowing him as a player now, told him to make what he could and get touches when he couldn't.

If you want to pay the travel prices for a "second sport" and you're okay with your kid warming the bench, stay in touch with the coach. Communication is key.
