[quote=Anonymous]It’s tough for kids when practices get pushed later. DS is older but he not only practices until 9:30, it’s an hour drive so he doesn’t get home until 10:30 and still has to eat and shower. The earliest he is in bed is midnight for a 6 am wake up. All the clubs we have played with prioritized younger players for earlier times but there’s a huge shortage of field space and at some point someone has to take the later times which is usually middle school.  The problem only grows worse in HS when kids need to be up even earlier and have more demanding classes to study for, so if the late practices are a hardship in 7th or 8th, you really need to determine if this is the path you want to pursue. I wouldn’t do it unless my DS literally lived and breathed soccer. It also happens to be where he has made has deepest social connections and the thing that motivates him to keep his grades up. I wish there were more fields but I have come to realize that this is just how it is going to be.[/quote]
