Rene, of course some kids prefer solo sports like athletics, tennis, kayaking etc. but most prefer team sports where they can join in and have fund with their friends. At such a young age few are thinking about it in terms of a career and long-term success, so even if it means a 2hr trip for 30 mins it’s not just about the football, it’s a day out in the car, going somewhere new with dad/friends, and having laughs, fun, fish n chips…
Just ask any dad of 6-12 year old lads (and increasingly lasses), many of whom dedicate hours and £££ to this sort of thing, weekends and midweek.
If you haven’t yet been through it, maybe your time will come…
