[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t it possible to just do Super Y because playing soccer is fun?[/quote]

Yes exactly.  I'm one of the PP's talking about how the gifted kids play a lot.  This is NOT happening because their parents are pushing them.  Basically these kids just want to play because they love it - and they find ways to do so - the parents couldn't stop them if they tried.

So I completely agree with this.  If your kid wants to play Super Y, then sign them up for it.  It's fun.  If they would rather not play, then don't sign them up for it.

Super Y is awful. And playing all the time doesn't make you better (but it will cause injury.). No, not all the "best" kids are playing all the time. No, not all the best kids are doing personal training, etc.

Bro I dont know you but I promise you your kid isn't  even in the conversation with the "BEST" kids[/quote]

You sound arrogant.

Not the PP here - and he may sound a little arrogant - but the other poster (the one who thinks the best kids aren't playing all the time) is just wrong when he suggests that the top kids don't play all the time.  They do.  And most of the next tier down play all the time too.  I'm guessing this guy doesn't even know who the top kids are, and has probably never heard of the Bolivian league either.  He's right about none of them (at least as far as I'm aware) doing one-on-one with a personal trainer though.[/quote]

I'm the poster your referring to....go ahead and have your kid play 24-7. Do what you feel. Thats your business. I'm offering my opinion. You don't like it? Disregard it.

Most of your kids will stop playing by 16. Enjoy

You weren't "offering an opinion".  You were stating something as fact which wasn't true.

This was a simple discussion on whether or not the top kids play a lot.  You claimed they do not.  I pointed out that they do.  I know they do, because I see them doing it every week.

Now you are claiming the following:

1.  I "have my kid" play 24-7.
2.  Most of my kids will stop playing by 16.

Yet again you are spouting nonsense.

You really are a blithering idiot.[/quote]

Playing a summer league, a fall league, a winter league, a spring league, and back to a summer league...repeat year after year.....won't make your kid good. It will burn them out and lead to injury.

This is the mentality of U9-14 parents.  You have it all figured out. I'll excuse my idiot self from this conversation.

Frankly, most kids past U14 cut back naturally. You are just screaming at the sky for no reason. By then kids are either playing to get recruited or they know they won't and they have a different decision to make. Many of those kids simply choose to focus on the environment that is most fun for them.

Kids who are looking to get recruited simply cut back in favor of more focused training. They go to ID camps, go to strength and conditioning, have personal trainers work on specific aspects etc.

None of this means that their time in Super Y, Bolivian or whatever side playing they did was a waste of time, especially if they enjoyed playing. I find it odd that we worry so much about overuse and "burnout" with kids activities that past 17 years old most of them will never get to enjoy in the same way again. Let them play until they have had their fill, they are only kids once.[/quote]
