To burn out.

When did your son join a more competitive club. He had a lot of fun this past year with lost of playing time but also got annoyed because a bunch of the kids kind of goof off.

Do you think a top club won’t offer a stop next year (6th) if we turned down in 5th, seems most clubs like to mix up thier talent as kids get older anyway.


If he has friends on the club team and you don't mind dropping the money let him play. He will enjoy playing against his club teammates in town.

The only downside to starting this young are the parents that like to coach from the sideline, that all stops in 7th grade.
