[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP is correct.  Same experience.  Our first was the guinea pig and is now losing interest after 4 years of intense travel soccer.  At 8, they are gung ho, but travel is a killer.  With our youngest, we are delaying entry until older.  Oldest is an exceptional soccer player too, but the clubs really overdo.  Elementary school is too young for more then 2 days a week + a local weekend game.  But you will see hundreds of families all going down this route . . . . [/quote]

I’m 15:02. Do you think your oldest is losing interest because it was too much too soon or that he would have anyway?  My older child plays a different sport competitively and decided to step back after 5 years and try other things. We think his interests have changed and we are okay with that.

Thanks to all for the replies discussing the pros and cons. It is a lot to consider. [/quote]

Everyone likes to blame the sport, the travel and everything else but the possibility that the player simply prefers something else to do with their time. And there is nothing wrong with that. It happens in all sports and activities. It isn't burnout.
