Yes, that's it, its jealousy.

Playing multi-sports pre HS can be done, even should be done as its of a great benefit. ITs not hard to find a club soccer team that isn't ranked in top 10 and isn't hurt by a lax first kid missing a few fall games. Same goes for soccer first kids, there are what, 15 teams in MD that play lax fall tournaments, do both if your a soccer first kid.

3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, who cares missing lax in fall and soccer in spring, but this is 8th grade. If you are good enough, the club will put up with it, if you aren't, its certainly will get you cut.

Why does it matter if a kid in 8th grade misses a Fall tourney due to other sports? Are you super mad that a great athlete is taking a spot on a top team? Focus on getting your own kid better and faster instead of putting down other families and athletes. Hit the wall!

I mean it doesn't if wins and losses don't matter.

What aren't you following? Its about being a good teammate and knowing you can't "do it all" without letting others down.

Seems like you are trying to put other down here, doesn't it?

And we wonder why we have self entitled kids. But hey, obviously your susie good enough to be kept around despite missing key games. You are winning.
