[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS started travel a year early, playing up and on the A team.  He did fine, but burned out.  Hung up his cleats after U10 and hasn't gone back on the field since.  I would never have put him in that environment so young if I had known what it was going to do to him.  He enjoys other sports still, so I know it's not playing in general that he doesn't like, he just doesn't want to play soccer.

When the U13 tryouts came around, I went around to a couple of the spring practices and talked with the coaches, explained what team he had come from and that he hadn't been playing for a couple of years.  All of them wanted to see him, and said that with a summer camp he'd be totally fine.

He said not interested.  I have finally gotten him to agree to think about a summer camp and playing for his MS if he wants to try out for it.  But he won't go back to club, and I know it's because I put him there too soon[/quote]

Don't blame yourself. There could be lots of other reasons. It may have been overly serious / stressful and he stopped enjoying it. That is a coach's fault. A coach creates that atmosphere. It could have been a team full of little a-holes who think they are going pro one day. Those kids could have been cruel to him. Many factors... Plus, he may play again one day on his own, but that decision must come from him. [/quote]
