[quote=Anonymous]My kid was very coordinated and obsessed with all ball sports as a 3 and 4 year old, but too shy to join a friend in a YMCA league at 4. By 5/kindergarten he was willing to sign up for MSI’s rec instructional program with his school friends, and soccer was his main passion from that day forward. He and this same group of friends played every day during elementary school recess, joined a travel team in 3rd grade, joined a good travel team in 5th, then most of them played together on the same DA (MLSNext predecessor league) team through HS. My son and 3 others from this kindergarten cohort went on to play D1 and several more played D3.

We were lucky along the way to have knowledgeable soccer coaches and trainers notice our son’s talent and want to mentor him. We were also incredibly lucky that he had a group of nice, sports-mad friends who pushed each other to be better players and people throughout his school years. But yes, it all started with us and some other parents thinking “Hmm, my kid seems advanced at this for his age.”[/quote]
