[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be ready to commit your weekends and three days during the week after school to this and potentially driving an hour a way for games. It honestly snuck up on me how quickly it can turn from play to competitive. I’d take him out and put him back into recc, but kid loves it and DH is all in as well. I’m trying my best to push for balance and total rest days to prevent overuse injuries, burnout and a more well-rounded childhood experience. We don’t miss friend’s birthdays or family visits for soccer. But baring that it takes up 8 months a year. [/quote]

I would leave these decisions to the player with family guidelines. Soccer provided our son with an understanding of what it means to commit to something, work hard, make decisions, and apply himself to things he cared about. The growth of his decision-making and determination is fully evident in college today. Yes, travel soccer is a commitment in time and money. But when you have found a team that you enjoy playing with, you are playing at a high level, the satisfaction and dedication that can come from that is inspiring. For our family the games and the time spent with our kid driving to the games and practices was priceless - it was truly a family experience. We wouldn't have traded it for the world. But it does have to be a mindset for everyone involved.  [/quote]
