[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a young rising u10 and I constantly think about if  going down this travel/DA route will take away from school work and ultimately effect college options. He attends one of the top independent schools in DC and there no other kid playing travel soccer or any other sport that require all the extra camps and training. When ever practice is cancelled he gets so more school work done plus extra reading. He loves soccer and playing at the highest level so i support him but he so young and doesn't understand the kids he's competing with in the classroom are putting there time in there school work.[/quote]

This is so random and out of place worrying about a 10 year old, unless you are a crazy soccer parent, and have high hopes for your kid to be in high league soccer. Plus 10 year old playing at the highest level?  What exactly does that look like? Maybe use that money and go with him to a club camp in Netherlands, a good one and get a reality check. To spare you the academic worry, chances of your kid playing at the highest level?! which should be Europe and Latin America, are so incredibly small that you sound nuts. How about you let your kid play soccer now when he likes it and not obsess about some hypothetical future? Of course, that would mean I am writing to a normal parent and not a high strung, insane parent from this area(we all are slightly insane here, me included). You are only playacting that you are worried about academics, I have been around your kind day in and day out. No doubt, your insanity will prevent your kid from enjoying soccer very, very soon. We are only different when it comes to sport choice, crazies one and all here.[/quote]
