Message: [QUOTE="QDOG5, post: 3010568, member: 6764"] Good on ya. Your letting your child make his athletic decisions. I would disagree with your assertion that it will be harder for him to join a premier level team later on. If he is talented enough an elite level team will take him. It's cutthroat at the upper levels and the talent pool shallower. The elite teams recruit by winning leagues and tourneys and putting trophies on their website. My friends daughter was an incredible soccer player but ran track in high school too. She stayed with her soccer club that was just a level below the premier teams despite those teams telling her it would hurt her recruiting. She ended up getting multiple D1 soccer offers and played four years at Marquette. If your a excellent athlete teams will find you (Ja Morant excepted). My advice would be to let your son make the decision when he wants to concentrate on one sport. [/QUOTE]
