[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are your kids willingly doing these sports and are you taking them all to their practices? Or is this all informal play with buddies? One kid has no desire to play any other sport even though I think he would do better in cross country than soccer. And another kid will likely excel in whatever sport he plays although he has no desire to do work on anything but soccer,  apart from playing with buddies in the park during summers. I don’t think we have the bandwidth or time to take our 3 kids to other sports or have them add on to their current activities. Although apart from soccer, they take martial arts.[/quote]

OP here, my kid attends a school where the kids pick a sport each season, instead of PE.  So, he has to play something.  Which is fine, he loves to play all sorts of things, but I'm not driving him to practice, it's part of the school day.  He's a kid who would happily play as many things as I let him though, which is why we picked that school.  [/quote]

I’m the PP. That is really cool! The kids could probably practice other team sports held at the school but I don’t think we’d be able to take them to weekend games. That said, my kids do have a once a week trainer as well in addition to martial arts but that’s just done at home and the martial arts is also a once a week 10 min drive. So very low time commitment from the parents! I do know a number of kids who play soccer and do swim. Swim seems like a big commitment as well like soccer so I marvel at parents ability to make it happen. I guess if my kids had more of an interest, maybe I’ll try to make it happen. But if they’ve no interest, not gonna bother.[/quote]
