[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]players playing a high level too early burn out by college.  there is no reason to be in a club environment before 14-15 years old.

The kids on my kids team, many who expect to play division 1 have either reached the top of their game, hurt on a regular basis, or are having serious issues with dealing with the pressure because that is all they do.

I am willing to bet those who say it is worth it were multiple sport athletes through high school.   [/quote]

I don’t understand this.  How does one hold off playing until 14 or 15?[/quote]

a friends kid played over 70 games last year, 70.  kids are doing this at u10, 11, 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 no wonder they are spent and burnt.  Talented kids can play soccer and not have 70 games a year and can start playing more games at u15

for some reason you all think your kid is the exception for every kid that makes it to div 1 there are so many who got hurt, left the sport because of the stress etc.

so yea my 2 kids who are div 1 athletes didn't play high level until they were 15.  coaches don't just take kids for skill because mine are not the most skilled but they had what the programs needed.  btw, they don't play soccer but the same can be applied to any sport.  [/quote]

So they play American football?[/quote]
