[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think the drop-off might be because of the sheer numbers playing soccer in the first place, vs. the other options? There aren't a ton of options for kindergarten rec sports, and so many parents see it as the gateway sport for kids. Then the kids get a bit older and there are more options and they start doing other things. Then there isn't time for everything, so maybe they drop the soccer in favor of baseball or something else. The soccer rec system in our county dwarfs any other sport at the early years. Then kids start peeling off for softball/baseball, lacrosse, football, field hockey, etc. once those options become available.[/quote]
