[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure what age group this is, but IME as they get older, lots of kids play on multiple teams. Either guest playing, playing up an age level, or are also on a higher tier team etc. They prioritize one team and only show up for the other team when they feel like it.

Other times it is just a disorganized parent or a kid who is overcommitted to activities/other sports too. [/quote]

On our team, it's the multisport kids.  On one hand, there is a huge push from most governing bodies to avoid early specialization and play as much sport as you can while you are young, athlete first; on the other hand, playing multiple sports involves conflicts, and the kid and their family feel like they are always letting someone down.

Playing different sports in different seasons, not multiple sports at the same time.

I don’t think they feel like they are letting people down. They got theirs and the heck with the other kids.

The seasons all overlap. [/quote]

This. We prioritize the sport that “should” be in season when there is a conflict.[/quote]

We do this as well. Annoys me to no end that all sports are year-round now. i.e. futsal will be skipped if at all possible![/quote]
