[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Based on my child, I would wait a couple years. She made travel in 6th grade/WAGS. The next year she moved to CCL. You have to give up a lot of other activities, play dates, etc. to do travel and it can be hard for kids. [/quote]

I am pulling back with my kids next year too.  They are 9 and 11.

We used to have grass fields.  Things would get cancelled.  There was more off-season downtime.  These kids go year-round 3 days per week with little break.  Turf allows the show to go on no matter the weather.  There is zero time to do other things.  If you have smart kids with a variety of interests you don't want them to give everything up and close doors to other things.

Once the kids are older and can consciously commit--it's wiser.  There are a lot of soccer burnouts in this area. There is also a lot of coaching that does the opposite of building a player's skill and individuality.

Either find a less intense club for the early years or continue with rec and some training.[/quote]
