[quote=Anonymous]OP, are you a single mom? I also have 3 kids and between two
parents, our kids’ schedules are manageable. So if the kids have an active other parent, delegate. If not, I agree that your son should have a say in whether to continue or not and you should work with him so he can take himself around.

That said, is the reason you invested all this time and money into your son is because he was talented? Or did you think it was enough that he was decent, trainable and motivated and that with some choice resources, he could be really good? My kids all play soccer and one of them has shown talent and skill and motivation since he was a couple of years old and which continue to hold true now. But we are avoiding big clubs for now not only because of the expense and the distance but also because we can. There are lots of smaller clubs with high quality coaching and play where talented kids can continue to develop at their pace, get a lot of attention from coaches, make friends, and still enjoy the game.

I still don’t understand why parents pay huge club fees for their kids to play at lower tiered teams (that is, not the top A team) when there are so many other options.
