[quote=Anonymous]OP ask your daughter whether she wants to keep doing other sports a couple times a week or if she just wants to focus on this one sport. I know some really athletic kids who could be on a top travel team for multiple sports, but they are in rec because they like being able to do multiple sports in the same season and don’t have a favorite sport yet. Travel is more about the kid having a clear favorite sport and wanting to prioritize it over other extracurriculars. It’s possible to do travel with other rec sports/activities and even beneficial if you can make it work, but those other things have to be fit in around the travel sport. Travel coaches expect that you will prioritize their practices and games.

Not all travel sports are the same when it comes to weekend games and tournaments, so hearing about sports other than soccer won’t be super helpful.  Consider the timing of the fall and spring soccer seasons and whether or not you mind not being able to go away on weekends (for non soccer stuff) during those times of year. I personally don’t mind since it overlaps with the school year… but you may feel differently. I am steering my kids away from sports like lacrosse and baseball because those go into the summer which is when we tend to travel. [/quote]
