[quote=Anonymous]My 13 year old (no middle school soccer team) is in 7th and started soccer in 3rd / started club soccer at the end of 3rd. We’re in CA where it’s pretty much year round and for the few weeks she’s off she runs or lifts or watches soccer videos and takes notes. I think she’d play soccer in her sleep if she could. She’s not on the highest level team but loves her coach and teammates. She asked me once, after all the time and money, what I’d do if she wanted to quit. I told her that I’d want her to reflect on it and I’d want to know the reasons, but that we’re doing it because it brings her joy, has taught her great leadership and teamwork skills, has helped her learn to talk to coaches who she might have a hard time with, keeps her fit, and teaches her that dedication can help her improve. If she wants to go out for HS soccer and doesn’t make it I’ll be sad for her (it’s very competitive) but it’s not the reason she’s playing. [/quote]
