[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are literally tons.  The top one being that it allows kids to use and strengthen other parts of their body that they otherwise wouldn’t use just playing soccer.

So it's not benefits to improve soccer development, its overall benefits.[/quote]
Well, if it benefits your kid overall it will also benefit their soccer playing. Soccer is a physical sport and being stronger and injured less would certainly be a benefit. Playing another sport could also help prevent burnout which is a real problem.[/quote]

Burnout is highly overused on this forum to describe the average and lesser players who quit because they fall behind the levels

We don't even have live-in academies here where kids are training multiple times a day with games as well. 
2, 3 days of training for less than 4 or 5 hours total weekly isn't burning anyone out [/quote]

"Despite the methodologic limitations of some of the existing research, consistent findings have linked high degrees of sport specialization with higher rates of injury, particularly overuse injuries."

Soccer isn't Cross Country 
You are constantly using a wide range of movements in training and games.

Overuse is the same repeated motions. 
So if you're going to the field and shooting 20 yard shots for 2 hrs, you'll have overuse issues. 
No one with sense does that.[/quote]

It specifically calls out that soccer has been studied.  Just throwing it out there that the others saying at a young age to supplement with another sport there is some scientific basis for going that route.

"Lower extremity-dominant sports such as basketball and soccer have been studied most frequently, but mixed and upper extremity-dominant sports (eg, baseball, tennis, volleyball) have also been addressed. In summary, risk factors such as playing on more than 1 organized team, engaging in competition (not just training) year-round, participating in more hours of sports per week than one's age in years, and a high degree of sport specialization have consistently been found to increase young athletes' risks for lower extremity pain and overuse injuries."[/quote]

Wouldn't rest be better than adding activities of another sport to prevent overuse injuries?[/quote]
