It’s just obvious. The kid who is catching every pass and scoring 5 times in a game in a K-2 league.

Child is being told he has “exceptional stick skills”? By you? Stop doing that.

All good suggestions, but I would recommend Irish Hurling. Team sport, cardio, running, stick skills and he will be one tough SOB after playing without pads.

For kids with smaller hands, sports like volleyball, badminton, table tennis, and martial arts can be good choices. These sports often require less emphasis on gripping large objects and more on agility, coordination, and strategy. You're welcome.

By his teammates and 2 coaches. This shouldn’t upset you so much someone says a 5 year old is good. He can catch, cradle, pass and shoot with both hands which is unusual in Kinder lax.

So ridiculous. Even if he can do all of that, you have got to realize he's only 5 and it means nothing, right????

At 5, a kid should be trying all sports. Not looking for the complimentary sport. What a joke

My DS is playing D1 at a top school he started early but not that early. Over the years we have watched hundreds of kids and how they develop. For a boy who is in K the number one factor that I would use to determine success at the next level whatever that is is that the young kids who have the most fun and really love practices and games do the best in the future regardless of skill demonstrated at the youth level.

Tell the adults to stop.

The best thing you can for him is put him in a sport/activity he is not naturally good at.

Tennis. Ice hockey is a nice thought, but it is a money pit and road to nowhere.

Yes he loves it. Not sure why you assume he doesn't.

Thank you. Martial Arts might be a fun option for him.

To build hand strength in kids, incorporate playful activities that involve squeezing, rolling, and manipulating objects like playdough, stress balls, and therapy putty.
