I can relate to the dilemma. DS (11) has discovered figure skating and it is a challenge to get him the ice practice time he needs and fit in science olympiad and chorus and acting class. So far, I've been hesitant to gently lead him away from anything since these activities literally save him and give him a positive to look forward to after school.
I suspect that as he gets older, he will drop things over time. If not...I'll be looking back at this post to see what gems of wisdom I can gleam from your post
