Originally posted by Unregistered View PostSo, what is your point? Are you against 12 year old boys being active and doing what kids do, or not? Because honestly....who cares? I am not even sure why this topic is being discussed. Either your child is doing something or not....again, who cares? Raise your child the way you want and silently disagree with how others raise theirs. Who cares.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostCould care less what your Johnny does. Just wondering what is the point of DA saying not to do other sports and take time off in December, but then turn a blind eye to all the kids breaking the rules? What is the point of it all?

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostThat’s awesome! So Washington Timbers, Timbers Academy and BSC DA are all turning a blind eye and giving their players full passes to do winter multi-sports. That could be great for the kids socially or just be a huge detriment from a muscle recovery standpoint. Hopefully none of these young athletes suffer any consequences.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostBasketball runs through all of January and most of February. So sounds like kids will do Soccer practice in addition to basketball practices and games during those months.
"Burn out" is a myth. Kids don't burn out on fun environments where progress is happening.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWhich is fine, but here's the thing: kids with serious potential, in a challenging environment, who are learning rapidly and can see where they're headed if they do well, will never add another sport willingly.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostWho at TA is elite? And kids can play multiple sports at the same time and be elite at both at this age if they are athletic and have the drive. Kids with physical limitations are the ones who have their bodies breakdown from over use...
All athletes that do too much are at risk of injury, especially those that only play one sport. Multi sport athletes over time see less injuries.

Originally posted by Unregistered View PostKids that practice soccer 3x/wk with a game or two on the weekends have fewer injuries, less burn out & better grades than those that do the same soccer but add 5x or 6x/wk of basketball practice & games on top of the soccer.

Some bodies just break down because of a lack of symmetry in their muscle and/or skeletal structure regardless of the amount of use.

Eastside announced to its parents last week that it will leave the DA program *after* the Spring season. Not because of performance, we were told (we harbor no illusions as to the strength of our teams), but because they believe they can better serve the kids and the club as a whole in the OYSA and RTC/ODP route, and that the DA rules/restrictions were too confining.
They indicated that they believe Eastside will not be the only ones leaving the DA. I assume, as I've read in this thread and/or others I follow, that this is a Timbers Alliance thing. Wouldn't surprise me to see Westside withdraw. Others have already said they will. Will powerhouse WashT as well?
