My kid has his first team practice of the year tonight, we leave in moments. Paying my first installment tonight too.
2nd year Peewee and he still loves it as much as he did when he was 4, he is even branching out this year and should be playing defense almost full time.
If he ever said he wanted to quit I would make sure he had all the relevant info first, and then cry alone if he really did quit. Some kids are just naturals, and you hate to see that go to waste.
In the end as long as he was truly happy and still kept busy and stayed academically healthy as well, I would support whatever decision he made.
It would still suck tho
