[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The superstar player on my son's k team was average (if that) by second grade.  The other kids got with the program over first and second grades, some of them leapfrogging to travel soccer. Everyone assumed that the kindergarten superstar would eventually be a good fit for travel as well, but it turned out that he just looked like a great player because he was competitive, got the game, and gave a sh*t before the other kids did.

There are lots of opportunities for kids to play soccer in Arlington, with private options, weekend drop-in, clinics, winter soccer, etc.  By third grade developmental and travel soccer are options.  Until then I would take pp's advice and just let him gain good control of the ball and/or see if he can play with older kids who can challenge him.[/quote]

Yep. My son was a K standout and now is B-team material.  He was born into a soccer family so was exposed early and knew what to do in K--bit eventually kids catch up.

I was the kid drawing in the dirt and doing cartwheels on the field in K and later got a scholarship to a D-1 school.

It means nothing now. Emphasize fun.[/quote]
