[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS played "only" rec soccer through U18. No travel. No club. No high school team. He played with a group of boys he started with in U9 and played for the enjoyment of it and to hang with his friends.

We also "only" do summer swim team. No club swim.

Not everything needs to be intense![/quote]

OP here. Thank you for all the replies and giving us some great ideas as to how to proceed. And playing sports for enjoyment and friendship are exactly the life lessons we are looking to encourage![/quote]

NP.  Seems like you are setting him up for a lifetime of mediocrity and disappointment.[/quote]
You have to be joking.  Not everything in life is a competition.  You can do things because they (gasp!) fun.  Most kids will never play in college or professionally.  Sports teach other life lessons.  The amount of parents who push their kids to do travel in the US is mind boggling.   You sound like you are living vicariously through your kids.  [/quote]
