[quote=Anonymous]We didn't plan to specialize in one sport - it just happened. I initially signed up my daughter for soccer, thinking it was a fall sport and we'd do something else (softball) in the spring. But she liked soccer and we liked our team a lot. If you don't play both seasons, you lose your roster spot, so soccer then became a two-season sport for us. Then she got good enough to make travel, but wanted to stay with her rec team, so now we do both. It's about 5 days a week of soccer, maybe 20 weeks a year. (the rest of the time, it's 1-2 days/week of soccer.) We do non-soccer things in the off-season - basketball in the winter, dance class year round, swimming lessons in winter and summer. Before we joined the soccer team, we tried a bunch of sports (t-ball, b-ball, lax, among others) so at least she's familiar. Ultimately, I wouldn't mind if she switched from soccer to LAX or field hockey. [/quote]
