[quote=Anonymous]Love that you came back to update, OP. And your kid is still really young. It will probably all change again at least a couple more times. Some of the best kids quit by age 12 and some average kids work their way up to being really good. Mine is 11 and moved up from a second travel team to a first team at age 9. But I feel like other kids, including some old teammates and kids from lower teams, are starting to catch up and pass him. And who knows what puberty is going to bring for all of them. If I had to put money on it right now, I think mine will end up in cross country or track because speed and endurance have been things where he consistently stands out. He has played with and against the upper tier kids in soccer, the ones who will make the high level leagues and HS varsity, and I can see he doesn’t have their technical skills despite working hard. Just trying to support him where he is at right now and make sure he’s on a team where he can feel like a contributor. I think if a kid is truly gifted there won’t be any wondering; they stand out in every setting.
