[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m intentionally keeping my kids in a non travel league at this point- they are exceptional athletes and play many sports- I’m already seeing Kids who are 10 and dropping out of travel because they are “burned out” from three times a week practice and several games a weekend/year round soccer.

It’s nuts. We are very well off and I’m disgusted at what my peers pay for custom lax sticks for 7 year olds, private coaching, hell these folks have to buy several different PRACTICE uniforms for their kids.

People are nuts.[/quote]

I have seen a lot of kids who should not be in travel on travel teams. In the younger years, I see a lot of rec players who should be in travel but their parents are clueless about soccer/don’t want to pay/can’t pay/don’t have the time.  It’s not so much burnout as the kids do not have the skill, desire and drive to play on a very competitive team and at some point that is no fun for the kid. Those kids should be playing on a travel lite or rec team. A lower level travel team player will kill it in rec and have fun. The parents are into though...my dd/ds is on x club and its the best.
