DS is 10 and he’s at that point now. He plays on 1 travel team (tryouts tonight for next year) and one park district rec team which means 4 practices a week and usually at least 2 games. Last weekend he had 5 games scheduled Friday thru Sunday (he couldn’t make 1 as 2 were scheduled at the same time) He often gets up early on weekends to watch English Premier League soccer. For some reason, he is not into MLS even though we have a team in Chicago and we’ve gone to some games (and he went to their summer camp a couple years). He thinks he could be a professional soccer player, I know he’s not that good. He also thinks he could be a hockey player even though he’s never played a game in his life and can barely skate. But who needs reality?Sounds like my oldest son. After two broken wrists he gave up his plans to play pro soccer sadly. I had him involved with DCUnited until we moved and it kind of changed things since there's not an MLS team around here (yet). So the wrists and the loss of DCU being down the street kind of made him lose hope I think.He was great with stats and commentary and I really thought that would be a great career for him. He floundered for about a year and a half and now is a soldier. I miss soccer (youth) so much. My oldest was a figure skater and being an ice mom wasn't too bad, my youngest is softball and it's filling up my time, but I enjoyed soccer mom the most probably because I spent so many years at it. He truly lived and breathed soccer.
