There are many things to consider when letting your child play multiple sports, including:



  • School studies: are they able to keep up their grades?

  • Your time: are you driving them around from one place to the next regularly?

  • The cost: sports equipment costs can add up quickly.

  • Your child's health: are they able to take on all those sports and stay injury free?
