Lakeville Soccer Club Coaching Newsletter November 2016 Clinical report says young athletes should delay sport specialization until 15 or 16-years-old (www.DailyPress.com) Young athletes who focus on a single sport and play it year-round — sometimes on multiple teams — may think they're boosting their odds of playing in college or even professionally. But they may be hurting their chances instead, according to a new clinical report from the American Academy of Pediatrics authored by a local physician. Overuse injuries and mental burnout are sidelining too many kids and teenagers, says Dr. Joel S. Brenner, medical director of the sports and adolescent medicine programs at Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters and the report's lead author. By the numbers Youth sports should be mostly about having fun, learning qualities such as sportsmanship and leadership and promoting physical activity for life, a new report argues. Of high school athletes: •3 to 11 percent continue playing at the college level •1 percent receive any scholarship money •.03-.5 percent go on to play professional sports About 50 percent of athletic injuries are related to overuse. Some 70 percent of kids will quit playing organized sports by age 13. Reasons can include injury, mental burnout, time constraints and a lack of playing time.
