[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my daughter is. She’s 13 but in 7th grade so no club season in the fall just optional practices as the older 2010s enter high school. She didn’t love it enough and I didn’t push her to stay because it’s $$$. She’s on the 3rd team. Also her younger sister got a spot in an ECNL team so that travel for two of them was going to be a logistical nightmare on weekends.

She’s focusing on track and volleyball. [/quote]

How's her volleyball experience? Is it still a reasonable sport even though she didn't start at young age?[/quote]

And how’s her track going?[/quote]

She’s only done rec for both, but she’s never lost a footrace on the track (tied once) or on the soccer field.

First season with rec track and she’s clearing 4’6” on her high jump without any training and matching her long jump with the high schoolers she’s training with, so she’s excited.

She’s done rec volleyball for three years and I’ve signed her up for some club summer camps to see what the clubs are like.

So soccer won’t be her sport, but that’s fine. She’s learned about commitment, teamwork, confidence, and all the other non-soccer attributes of the sport. It’s been a joy to watch her grow as a person and player. Her coach is an amazing person.
