[quote=Anonymous]Our 8 year old son lives and breathes soccer. Plays all the time (at school, after school, on rec and travel teams, in the house) religiously follows the Premier League, talks about soccer endlessly. I played growing up thru the end of HS and enjoyed it (and was above average) but never followed professional soccer and have started following it so I can have a conversation with DS about it. He also happens to be very good at it and is very high energy so it is a great fit (he also loves baseball but baseball is so much slower) and I presume there is some chicken and egg stuff here where the attention he gets for being good fuels some of his passion. We struggled with whether it was worth throwing all the time and money into travel and how he'd respond but it feels like he's really found his space and crowd and we'll need to accept a lot of weekends spent driving out to the suburbs for games.[/quote]
