[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you all again. This has been an incredibly helpful thread.

To answer some questions, she is approaching this with a friend - which would certainly make things easier on the parents - but the kids understand this isn’t a package deal. And they are prepared for that.

And yea, this is what she wants even if it’s the only activity she does. So that’s fine. She understands and wants the commitment.

We’ll see what happens. If she makes the team we’ll try it for a year as others have suggested. And go from there. [/quote]

Good luck! And good luck with the potentially thorny situation of two friends trying out. There’s only one scenario in 4 where everyone will be happy.

We signed up one kid for club soccer and really gave it no forethought at all other than “he likes soccer” and the practices were close by. We had no desire for him to play college or even high school. Five years later, he’s still at it and having a great time. We doubt he will play in high school because he has a different year round sport that he prefers. In any case, I really hope my kids don’t play sports in college beside rec level/ultimate on the quad.

He has tried a ton of things over the years- chess, piano, taekwondo, basketball, robotics, ski team, etc. Both you and your child will know when something sticks. [/quote]
