[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually this is a practical decision more than a theoretical one. By age 8, most kids are past the stage of once a week sports. When my son was 5, he did soccer, basketball, flag football, lacrosse, and tennis…but they were all once a week for an hour after school. Now at age 8, these sports are 2-3 days a week, so he has to choose.[/quote] +1 My DS7 does rec level sports and they've all shifted from a 1x/wk combined practice/scrimmage to 1x/wk practice and 1x/wk game. We just have to be pickier about what he can commit to even though hes playing at the most relaxed level. Also at 8 or 9 many kids aren't as interested in the random 1x/wk activities unless they are personally vested in the activity itself. My son was happy doing tennis once a week because it was like a giant playdate on Saturday mornings. My DD9 would rather just have Saturday mornings open than be with a few random kids every week.
