I am having the time of my life. My twin daughters are entering HS and will hopefully be playing basketball this Winter, and softball in the spring for their HS. I have coached them in summer softball and in MS basketball and now that they are in HS I will be able to sit backand watch. I really am looking forward to that. Many people that know me think I won't be able to stand it watching someone else coach them, but I am really looking forward to it.
They both love basketball, but they REALLY love softball. That is their words, not mine. They tried so((er, but both gave it up a couple years ago. I was thrilled when the did give it up. The thing with that sport....injuries seem to be extreme and plentiful, and the demands are overwhelming. So((er is the sport that started all the specialization **** by being the first to go year round with spring and summer leagues, School ball in the fall, and then indoor in the winter. So many teams try to get you to commit to all this and allow no time for other sports.
I think the days of 3 sport stars is over, unless you are at a small school that needs participation form every athlete they can get. I also think they need a beak at some point to let the body heal and rest. The problem my girls have is they go back to back with basketball and softball. As long as they are having fun I am in support of anything they try athletically.
I think if your daughter wants to play it all, more power to her. Most people would let their son go out and play every sport imaginable, so why not let your daughter?
Little known fact, kids that are busy in school extracurriculars actually do better in school academically.
This time flies by, so if you are having fun and your kids are too, go ahead and do it. It'll be over before you know it.
