[quote=Anonymous]I have a teenager now who we are trying to wean back into sports. He started out with baseball and basketball and then in about 3rd grade just didn't have a huge interest and I dropped the ball - I should have pushed him to continue. By not continuing, he basically lost any real skills or knowledge of the game, and by the time he hit middle school he was very very self-conscious -- which only made him less interested in playing team sports. We kept him in something throughout this -- martial arts for a few years, more recently tennis. But I feel like we really didn't do him any favors by letting him opt out at 8yo. He will never be a huge sports kid, but for fitting in socially and for staying fit, I wish we had kept him on some team until middle school. [/quote]
