[quote=Anonymous]I wanted to get any advice on this. We live in a very sporty community. It’s common for people to play multiple sports a season. My first grader is really into lacrosse, wants to practice at home, etc. We are also doing baseball and he plays on a team with all friends so it’s great. He doesn’t really talk about baseball that much and he likes it but he doesn’t love it. I mentioned maybe dropping it next year and a lot of friends pushed it’s too early to decide and I’m making a mistake. My older two sons play lax already and do club teams so it works out well. He also plays flag football, swim team, and rec basketball and tennis, so I don’t feel like we are specializing by any means. My husband is strongly opposed to doing both again because it was already a conflict and gets worse as they get older and it’s 4+ days a week even on rec.Should we give him another full year to decide or would you drop now? Right now lax is 3 days a week, 2 practices and one game. The reason people often do more than one and the same season is due to how competitive our area is, there’s a general feeling that if you leave for a few years you’re too far behind. The only reason I would continue with it is for the social reasons to see all of his good friends for a sport and have fun. But there’s a draft in a year and a half anyways. [/quote]
