[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. So I have other kids so I am not naive. They are all involved in travel sports. The youngest got put in stuff because we were already at the fields. And we just kind of kept going full-well knowing that this is WAY too much for an 8 year old. So I do blame myself for the situation I am in. I do not for a second blame my kid for burnout. What I am annoyed with myself for is that I held the first two out of intense travel sports until ages 10-11. And that 11 year old LOVES practice, games, anything to do with the sport. I guess I just was looking for thoughts on what to do now. Is it worth talking to the coach? I was thinking of doing that, but not sure what it would accomplish. [/quote] They love it because you held them out. 8 is way too young. What would you talk to the coach about? Travel sports at this age is a money making thing. It's not for anyone's benefit.[/quote]
