[quote=Anonymous]I have a kid who advanced really quickly in a short period of time. At this age, the team and coach are not relevant at all, mastery of the ball is. You can play pickup locally without a club and get better than 80% of the kids on high-level travel teams driving 1 hour on the Beltway 3x a week if your kiddo is spending AT LEAST 20 minutes a day with the ball. Advance that to two hours which may include playing after school with friends for an hour, recess for 30 minutes and 30 minutes of individual ball mastery work and you have created a future D1 player. The only thing you are removing is video games from his schedule and any other fluff. Unless your kiddo is athletically gifted, he has 1-2 years max to get away with dual sporting to be able to complete at 1st team area locally. With that information, allow him to make the best decision for him. Not sure why playing 2nd and 3rd teams are a bad thing though if he is enjoying other sports.[/quote]
