[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our 16-year-old who plays at a high level of soccer just announced he is quitting the team. He will play HS only. We were completely blindsided by the announcement and while we are glad he will continue to play HS - it's just not the same level of play. We haven't received much in the way of an explanation and are still unsure if we get back any of the funds we have paid for the club. We are working through our response to our kid (we feel like he should have to pay back the amount owed from his earnings). He was never going to play in college but has always enjoyed the sport and certainly could have tried to play D3 if he wanted to. We feel like he should finish it out but of course, realize ultimately it's his decision.

Currently, our biggest concerns are the financial obligations and some understanding of why and how he plans to fill the time he now has without practices and games.  Has anyone else experienced this? What guidance can you provide? How did you handle it? [/quote]

High school student barely have any free time if they are trying to do well in school, ace PSAT and SAT, do a sport, have a part time job, have one or two extracurriculars, volunteer, socialize.

If professional soccer or athletic scholarship aren't possible than there is no need to continue spending so much of his time on outside soccer, specially if he isn't enjoying it.
