Should Kids Take One Month off / year

If my dd is doing USSF training, I would pass on ODP personally.

Sounds great until you add in ODP, USSF training, etc. Just because your club stops doesn't mean these other programs do. Do you pass up on those ops??

Only if you want your child to have any other childhood outside of soccer. Otherwise, train 24/7/365 and get a partial scholarship to PSU or no money to UO, f they are one of the luckiest few from Oregon.

What "childhood outside of soccer" are you referring to? This is usually the excuse parents of average players use as to why they don't do ODP or US Training or play for a top team. It's because they want their kid to still be able to be a kid. lmao. Listen when we hear that all of us are simply thinking it's ok, we know your kid is more interested in the school play and reading The Hunger Games book series. It's fine just be honest with yourself.
