[quote=Anonymous]I’m genuinely curious. My child does not play sports but I did competitively growing up in the NE before soccer became the popular fad. What is the appeal of it? Why does it start so young and why are 8/9 year olds practicing 6 days a week all year long? Why do parents drive all over the place for futsal during the winter and tournaments for 9 year olds? What is the end game? I understand for some it’s fun, but this type of demand cannot be “fun” for a 8-10 year old. Do so many parents really think their kids are going to all get D1 scholarships or go pro? And who cares about pro soccer - they barely make a living wage. I guess where is the insanity coming from?[/quote]
