[quote=Anonymous]Personally, I think specializing this early is crazy. My son just turned 8. He plays rec soccer right now that practices 1 time per week. He also plays baseball that practices 2 times per week. He is a good soccer player and likes it a lot. We are going to put him in "pre-travel" next year. He plays with one of the teams associated with his school. There are 3 teams from his school total. There are several kids across those 3 teams that have some skill. I'm cetain that there will be a cohort that moves to pre-travel next year. From my standpoint, I don't want my kid to specialize so early. He is fairly athletic so we let him play whatever he wants. He likes being part of a team and being with his buddies. If you are concerned about falling behind in skills, I would put him in one of the summer soccer camps. I saw a huge improvement when he went to DC United Soccer Camp. There are other camps around. Just my $.02[/quote]
