Today, a child can play just about any sport he wants year-round. There are fall baseball leagues, summer basketball leagues, indoor golf ranges and tennis courts, indoor and outdoor soccer fields and roller hockey rinks, and opportunities to play every other sport you can imagine. Just about the only sport that remains exclusively as a one-season sport is football, and it probably will not be long before the youth football leagues start having spring practice just like the colleges. Let your child decide. When your child stops having fun it might be a sign of burnout.
Priorities have to be set.
Your child's health is first and foremost. School must be important also. If he is not getting his homework finished or is not doing it correctly because he is too tired to concentrate, maybe he is involved in too many outside activities. Sometimes a child does not want to disappoint mom or dad and will not admit he is tired of playing sports. Once in a while it is a good idea for the parent to decide for the child that it is time to take a season off.
