[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Little league baseball is a time suck compared to travel soccer. Travel soccer games are an hour. Baseball games can last over 2 hours. Starting at age 8, the better kids are in a kid pitch division and playing with 9 year olds and developing 10 year olds. If your 8 year old has never played then he might play with 6,7 and 8 year olds. 
Little league goes by however old you are on Sept.1st. Is your child still going to be 8 or will they be 9 by Sept. 1st. 
Trying to do travel soccer and little league at 9 is really hard. My son wanted to play little league and winter basketball and travel soccer. To do so he had to bump down a soccer level and went from A team to B team. It was worth it to him and for us to be able to play multiple sports. He couldn't miss any soccer practices on A team to play other sports, but he can alternate practices between b team practices and other sports.[/quote]

I disagree that it is hard.  My son - middle school age - has done travel soccer and Little League for over 4 years.  What did make it a pain was adding travel baseball in this year on top!  We didn't have many conflicts - if we did we usually split them though now that he is the goalie it's harder to make soccer.  But, for us soccer is usually Friday evening or Saturday morning/mid day.  Little League is usually Saturday midday to evening and travel baseball is Sunday mornings.  Lot of baseball.

But, he can't pick and  I don't think he should![/quote]
