[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - did your daughter show "natural" talent at a young age? Always the best player on her team?  At what age did she start playing club soccer?  At what age did she specialize/give up other sports? [/quote]

I could tell before she ever played soccer that she was a natural athlete.  She did gymnastics from probably K to 2 grade.  You could just see it.  She ran like a horse and had great hips and timing.  
She has never been the best player on her team but easily one of the best athletes.  Her technique on the ball has got much better over the last few years.  
She started playing club soccer in the 6/7 grade.  She played rec ball for awhile first and then finally transitioned over.  I would say almost every year or so she moved to a better team.  
She gave up tennis around around 4/5 grade.  She wanted to pay team sports instead.  I honestly think she would have had a dominating lacrosse career but I didn’t know where to take her to train or get on a team.  
I don’t recommend giving up other sports to primarily focus on one until later in high school.  Some kids figure it out at different times growing up.  But at some point most kids will need to lock in on one sport.  [/quote]
