[quote=Anonymous]Drop the flag football on Sundays. Your family needs time to be off the clock, it's good for the soul. Also, is this soccer through a rec center (e.g., a one-hour class on Saturdays only) or soccer through an organization? There is a HUGE difference between the two. If it's soccer through an organization, you're looking at games at 9 a.m. on Saturday mornings plus two (minimum) practices after school during the weekdays. It's a real time investment that can be exhausting. Know what you're getting into beforehand, and adjust. With my kids (now in high school), I told them they could pick one or two activities ONLY each per season. But if one of the weekly activities met more than once a week (say, a three-time-a-week swim class), then that was the only thing they would be doing. So pick well. I refused to raise overly-scheduled children. In hindsight, I consider it one of the wisest choices I ever made for my kids.[/quote]
