My 6 year old can't do anything

Is OP around and can update on how her son is?
I’m in the same boat. My six year old is kind of the worst at everything he does. Today we had to leave soccer practice after ten minutes because he was acting so silly and distracted and refused to participate. Baseball was also a disaster. Sticks out like a sore thumb.

I put my son in swim lessons at a young age so he wouldn't drown and took him to the playground every day, sometimes twice a day. He didn't like team sports for many years. Something clicked in 7th grade and he started liking team sports. Now at 9th he's trying out for the high school basketball team. He was always active and athletic but didn't have the attention span or maturity for team sports. My main goal was getting his energy out and keeping him healthy. Mission accomplished.

It’s funny how most of the jocks ended up washed up and bitter like you.

I’d love to see you try it, you absolute tool. We have a great time laughing at the so-called former athletes who come in thinking they’ll do great.

Newsflash; you will SUCK.

Another vote for swimming.

I made all my kids do swim lessons then swim team. It’s a safety issue.

Once they are good enough I know they can crank out many laps in a row in decent form, then it’s optional.

How does he do at school? Any concerns from teachers? Or is it just sports?

If just sports, try some sort of martial arts or as pps said swimming. Opt out of team sports for a year or two until he’s more confident. You could also try track/cross country. Just keep him active. But sports may not be his thing. And that’s ok.
