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]

Completely agree.  If a kid wants to play then he should.  If he doesn't, then he shouldn't.

The best players do play a lot.  But they play a lot because they want to play, not because their parents are signing them up for leagues they don't want to play in.

There are only two potentially bad situations:

1.  You force your kid to play soccer when he doesn't want to.  Nothing good comes of this.
2.  You prevent your kid from playing soccer when he does want to because &lt;insert some reason not related to family priorities here&gt;.

Seriously, how many of you can force your teenage son to do anything?  Is this actually a thing for top players?  I can see if your kid won't get off the couch and you force him to play a sport but this kid is not a top player.  Are there parents out there willing to admit that their kid is a top player on a top team and  they hate it and you force him to play?[/quote]
