[quote=Anonymous]My DS loves soccer, but doesn't feel good at it. He didn't start until this school year (3rd grade) & he's playing with kids who have been at it since preschool and many are quite good. All of his teammates are trying out for developmental and/or travel and will likely make it. He is afraid to try out because he doesn't think he's ready for it. (He's not completely wrong, but I'm also sad that he's discouraged.) I'm tempted to make him at least try out, but also want to help him find a new sport to try where you can start later and not feel so far behind. He also tried basketball and feels behind there as well. What other sports should I encourage him to try where he won't feel so far behind? It's hard to have a sense of competence when you are behind your peers in a sport you are playing....He is tall and has a great throwing arm, is great at throwing a football, so we suggested flag football, but I don't want him to play the real thing in HS...
