One of our daughters with six year old twins starting first grade is letting each girl participate in two activities.  Brownies and piano for one; while the other will be Brownies and soccer.  Both she and DH realize that the one interested in sports "could possibly" be drawn into the ramped up soccer teams in the future, but that is not going to happen because they see how busy they are with two working full-time and two active daughters with varied interests already.  It is best to focus on your family unit and what works best for everyone within in it in terms of parental time, all the kids interests and ages considered as well as money for activities.  As has been mentioned before on some boards here, college athletics is a real business now and pressure cooker for the college athletes.  It is important to consider what comes along with the scholarship and what the college student's first job will be "to study" or "to play a sport for the college's revenue base."  It may not be as intense in lesser  sports.[/quote]
