[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he want to do it? I would probably let him & his interests lead.

I did D1 sports in college and I am also not sure I want that for my kids but I did truly love HS sports. [/quote]

Me again but I also wanted to add that I do agree with other PPs and I do really think skills learned in one sport are often helpful for others sports. I played quite a bit of soccer myself and also dabbled in field hockey and lacrosse which I think were very similar to soccer in terms of positions, etc. and the soccer background helped.

Furthermore, my ultimate sport ended up being XC/ track but I really did quite a bit of conditioning in soccer and lacrosse which was probably better than a lot of straight up track running at a young age and where I saw others burn out. In these other sports I was always leading the running drills and at the end of the season when they’d talk about my soccer or lacrosse skills - they would say I could keep running the whole game and never get tired   :lol: [/quote]
