What your coach and the families on your team think is not something they can tell you. Talk to the coach.

While I agree this forum is filled with delusional people... Don't play a travel sport if you can't commit to it, simple. Multiple sports during the same season is why rec is a great option. I know many who do rec to play more than one sport. This person's kid has no business in travel and isn't making a highly competitive team/going to college for soccer with no actual commitment to the sport so what's the point in travel? There is nothing wrong with rec so I don't get why this poster is acting like it's beneath them.

I do game experience with this.

Missing one practice a week and at most 2 games you've made abundantly clear at the start of the season is one thing. Missing half the season 'juggling' multiple sports is not just selfish but disrespectful to everyone else on the team. Pick a lane or sport that's an off season sport to your travel sport.

Parents and players will 100% judge and dislike you for doing this in rec as well. It's extremely rude to sign up for a team sport and not show up. Once again, personal experience and you will be talked badly about and the other players will judge your player for this behavior and resent your player's play time that takes away from the players who actually show up.
