[quote=Anonymous]My experience has been that if a child really loves one sport and is talented then specialization just happens. DD started travel soccer at a young age and was always a good player on a top team but slowly started to develop a passion for lacrosse through rec and eventually she quit soccer altogether to play club lacrosse. I'm glad she didn't stop lacrosse while playing club soccer because it made the switch easier. She made this change around 4th grade but if your child is athletic and a hard worker they can do it later, like 6th. Now DD has taken up field hockey as her second sport and I'm impressed with how good she has become in a few years of rec and camps, I think her other sports have helped that. A few club teams really want her to play for them but there is just no time so rec and her middle school team allow her to enjoy the sport without the stress of adding a club commitment. Good luck![/quote]
