[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too much soccer is definitely possible.  The problem is that most parents in our area want their kid to be stand out players but they don't understand that the development of their child is a marathon not a sprint.  90 percent of serious soccer parents in our area are sprinting with their kids development with a the more they play the better they will be approach. While that concept is true to a certain extent there is a limit to how much a young body can sustain for a period of time.  What they don't realize is that they are setting their kids up for injuries down the road as they get older from overuse at younger ages.  Why the current crop of USNT players are injured more often than not.  They were the first generation of really intense soccer parents in the country.  A player needs to put in the time on their feet to be good there is no question about that.  But the time needs to be spent developing SKILLS not necessarily playing games.  The games are where you test the skills you've been working on.  If you go around to Bethesda games or really any other clubs games in our area there are tons of kids with below average skills but above average desire to win a game.  Those two things are in conflict and it manifest itself on the sidelines.  This problem is widespread in youth soccer in our country.  Once we get away from.the winning culture and start promoting a skill development culture we will.be better off.  I can see hundreds of kids on Instagram that can do fancy cone moves but those same players can't control the ball out of the air with pressure.  Very different skills and the former is ok to have, the latter is a must have in high level football.  Back to the original point...you can definitely over train and play too much soccer and if you do that in this country, chances are your kid won't be that good because more likely than not you're training on the wrong things and clubs like Bethesda bank on your ignorance to sell you things and extract money from your pocket.  It's that simple.  [/quote]

Right because you really need that on a mommy and  daddy discussion board open to the public.  Take what is being said or leave it.  If you have info to refute what is being said, present it.  If not, you're a troll.[/quote]
