[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 1st grader says every sport is the best when he is taking it. I do not come from a sports family and I never played on even a rec team. How do you keep your kid in sports and make sure you’re making the right choices long term for making the high school team?

[b]I see other elementary families whose kids are doing two or more sports every season and often skipping half of a season’s soccer practices and games to make basketball or football events. [/b]Are they just flakey or is this what you actually need to do to keep a foot in various sports?[/quote]

Many of my 2nd grader's friends do this, we do not double up on two sports that require a practice and game.  It just doesn't work for our family and DS doesn't want to do it either.  He has been alternating between baseball and soccer, with a different activity in the winter.  However, I'm convinced now that some parents do this to not lose their spot on the team.  We may not get DS back onto his team from last spring, even with DH offering to coach, because returning fall players get priority.[/quote]
