[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter has made the team for a sport that she has been doing for many years. She currently does 4 hours of practice a week right now. Practice will be 3 days a week for 3 hours at a time (Mon, Tues, Thursday from 5-8.) She is only 9, currently in 3rd grade. This would be for next school year. Skipping practice is highly discouraged plus travel competitions. This is going to put a strain on our family, miss family dinners, etc. She really wants to do it, and I am actually discouraging it - this isn't a parent living through their kid.

Would you let your kid do it for something they have worked very hard for? [/quote]

I wouldnt go that narrow at that age.

Our younger did bethesda soccer club (ecnl) two 90 min practices a week plus a weekend game. Plus ppa premier basketball two 1- hour long practices a week plus a weekend game. It was very complementary, especially for her endurance and stamina. Great set of positive friends too.

She also skis and does summer swim league. Plus dance camp and musicals camps.

She can pick one later. [/quote]

Dance camp?   If she’s three days a week in soccer and three days a week in basketball,  where does she fit dance in.  [/quote]
