[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP.  I think what you describe is very normal.  The kids I see at U11 and U10 who are doing so much extra soccer seems to be largely driven by the parents (particularly the ones who run Instagram accounts for their kids.)  Very few kids will practice on their own constantly after all the travel practice.  My DD feels like she is missing out on other activities also, yet she loves soccer and believes she will be a professional soccer player one day. But yes, she could be demoted to make room for other kids as our roster is quite full already.

I have thought about this question also and have determined my kid could play rec a year up with myself as the coach.  Or, we could take a year off and focus on skills clinics and camps like False8, Futstars, Capstone, St James ect...then re-assess down the road.

We had a few kids get moved down this past year to make room for new kids who were very good.  None of the kids that were moved down were thrilled with it and one left the club because of it.  It's a tough problem. But hang in there. The best 10 year old won't be the best 13 year olds and the best 13 year olds won't be the best 16 year olds.  I would stick it out and go off your kids interest level.     [/quote]
