[quote=Anonymous]Wait and see how he feels in a year or 2. I don’t know why you’re considering travel when you acknowledged he doesn’t love the sport. It will only make him hate it. I had the opposite kid. He started asking about travel at 7 even though I had no clue what travel soccer was. I played no sports and DH was a wrestler. We told him we’d consider it at 8 if he was still interested. When he was 8 he announced his intention to join a club. We tried our best to discourage travel and had a lot of reservations but it ended up being a great decision for him. He was out playing or practicing every chance he got. He happily missed parties and sleepovers to play. He still plays at u17. His friends who were pushed to play quit at u10 and u11. And we found rec players were joining his team at u10 and u11 and catching up pretty quickly so they didn’t seem to miss much. [/quote]
