[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He can still do both.  A lot of my travel kids still do basketball.  They're basically off all of December and January/Feb is futsol season which is less of a commitment.

If you think he's good enough to make a 1st or 2nd team, then he should do travel.  Waiting will only hold him back.  Especially when some of the larger clubs have U8 Academy so they're already ahead to begin with. Do any sport 3/4 days a wee, 10 months out of the year, and you'll improve tremendously.

Also politics start to happen.  Some clubs are less inclined to move a player down a team.  The longer you wait the harder it is to make a top team.  Some clubs, there may only be a few spots available on the top team year over year.

It doesn't hurt to try out.  Experience the coaches and other kids and families to get a feeling of the club's vibes. It's not binding and you can always decline the offer.

In reality, even if he's decent, if he doesn't love the sport...  ff he doesn't enjoy putting in the work and going to practices and trainings, then it's probably best to just stay in rec.  He might do it for a few years, but if he doesn't have the drive he'll eventually phase out, and it would be a waste of time and money. [/quote]
