[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS almost always misses one of three weekly practices to go to Hebrew School.  It's been OK so far, but he is only U12.  I wouldn't have him skip just for homework/studying.[/quote]

Why sign up for a sport knowing in advance that your son would miss ONE THIRD of all practices? That's a huge amount and is unfair to your son's teammates.[/quote]

We did not know in advance that practices would conflict. Last year they didn't. We didn't know fall practice days/times til late August.  We still don't know practice days and times for winter.  [/quote]

Seriously if we could predict practice schedule it would make it much easier [/quote]

How far in advance did you get your homework schedule?.......Exactly.

Seriously, practice will be 3x/week consuming a block of time sometime between 5:00-9:00pm. If ANY of that conflicts with your other obligations then do not play travel soccer regardless of level. Rec or Challenge soccer can provide the same fun and exercise with a more manageable time commitment.  [/quote]

These whiners do not know what it takes with not enough fields for the sheer number of teams in the local area to schedule practices..and then many of the fields aren't lighted which causes an even tighter problem.

Like this pp states---they will tell you how many hours per week/days---you will have to wait to beginning of year to know exactly what day and time.  However, Fall and Spring practices are usually kept the same schedule.

What a sense of entitlement some of you express about bending everyone else to conform with Hebrew school or your kid's test.  In all honesty, my kids don't know project or test dates that far in advance either.

Get your kid to step-up and learn how to manage his/her time.  Boss may one day give him something and expect him to get it out right away.  It's called LIFE.  The sooner they learn to deal without mom helicoptering over them--the better off they will be.

Signed, another mom[/quote]

I'm sorry -- is Hebrew school impinging on your team's G-d-given right to have every player at every practice, no matter when it was scheduled?

Shall we move the Sabbath, too?[/quote]

Likely no team is going to bend or change for your religious needs, but they should allow you to meet your religious obligations without punishment either. [/quote]
