[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11 is too early to pick one sport. try not to buy into the hype of picking one sport.  my kid does the following

swim year round and also neighborhood swim club in summer
travel soccer fall / spring/ summer camps 
winter indoor soccer and basketball
music and choir all year but not in summer

they seem to behappy with that and the coaches are trying to convince us to pick one sport saying they won't be successful in al them, so far, doing well in all with out any struggles [/quote]

Um, sounds like soccer and summer is year round for your kid.  Seems a lot like what your are preaching OP not to do. [/quote]

it isn't much each sport is 1 to 3 days a week and never more than an hour practice.  a good program will not let the kids practice longer than that.  If a kid is practicing more hours a week than they are old it is going to lead to injury.

there are several weeks off a year in soccer, winter is only 6 weeks long and only games on weekends, and summer is 1 practice a week that is optional
