My son, age 14, has expressed interest in giving up travel soccer and taking up indoor rock climbing instead. I know nothing about indoor rock climbing. Is 14 too late to start?

I understand the rationale of requiring user names to prevent people intentionally spreading misinformation. That being said, it gives me pause about posting certain questions or concerns that I have, because I'm worried about people at my child's club (or clubs they are considering) figuring out who we are and tracing the comments back to us.

My child plays futsal in the First Touch Futsal League. I'm not sure what the surface of the gym floor at the NVCC gymnasium is, but it seems quite slippery for the kids in their futsal shoes (way beyond other places that my child has played). I'm wondering if it might be better to try regular sneakers, or if that would make the situation worse. Thoughts? Other suggestions?
