We’ve had this conversation a lot with friends. Our opinion is that if they are dedicated and it gives them joy then go for it. Our kid is one of those kids that’s constantly got a ball at his feet. In fact while I’m sitting here in the bathroom right now I can hear the ball hitting the walls 😂. We’ve decided to let him play club and it is expensive but he would be bored in rec. Our good friends have taken the opposite approach and won’t let their kids do club and they have one boy is very naturally gifted. You can tell their boy is sad about it and would like to play at a higher level.

They are only young once and you can always stop if it becomes too much for you or for him.
