[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question from a happy parent. My 11yo kid has been playing for the same club for years. He is not a superstar but he easily made A team every year. His team is doing very well, winning a lot of games in league and tournaments. He’s happy and committed. I can’t think of any reason to move him, but can’t help wondering if I missed something in the big picture. [b]I am not looking at scholarships or pro probabilities, even though my kid aspires to be one.[/b] I just thought it’d be nice to have a hobby and some friends and maybe a boost to college admissions. Any advice?[/quote]

Your goals and your kids goals may not be aligned here. All kids certainly think they can be a pro, but if playing in college is a serious goal for your kid then you might need to look at things a little differently but at 11 years old there is certainly time. :)

All you can really ask for at this age is that he is happy and stays committed, he will let you know if he wants more of a challenge. [/quote]
