Soccer is huge in California as is Club soccer
every parent thinks their kid is amazing and starts their kids in travel squads at age 8 -10....usually burn out before 14
things is most kids don't even play college soccer like less than 1 percent
and kids are all over the map between 8-14....this one kid was so dominant and fast at age 10-12....never grew and sucked at 14
coversely some big kids with growth spurts dominate young or have coordination before others and fizzle out later
I coached all star rec soccer for 12 years and little league BB
