[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The grooming of another crazy soccer parent begins.  T[b]he kid is 9, by 12 he might not even like soccer or better yet he might burn out with such intense training.

Look back at many kids at age 8 who where the good player on a team, how many are doing different sports, playing multiple sports etc.

a kid trains kids in our area, he plays high school most of his kids he trains are all from high pressure clubs who didn't let the kids have fun , call it babysitting with a ball but they are all having fun

kids need to have fun at that age nothing too serious [/quote]

Or maybe he'll continue to love soccer and come to appreciate that he started playing with a good club at a younger age. I'm not sure where you are getting "such intense training" from as parents are just recommending good clubs.  Have fun watching your kid sit in the dugout...I mean play baseball..[/quote]

you have probably seen my kids play their sports on the big ten network and when they were that age they played 3 sports as well as music lessons.  [/quote] 
My kids play travel soccer, one at a much higher level than the other (maybe you'll see one or both some day on the BIG Network...doubt it but maybe) and both play basketball, flag football, and swim. We may even add in some running next year. But I don't know why you had to go off the deep end because a parent was suggesting to join Bethesda or Potomac travel teams.  And by the way....plenty of kids do just fine playing one sport.  Mine play many but I don't rip people if their kids don't play multiple sports.[/quote]
