[quote=Anonymous]None of my kids showed any real interest in sports at age 6 (behind seeing their friends and maybe the after-game snack). I think it is normal.

We just tried to expose to a wide variety of things that fit our own schedules and weren’t too costly (tried to stick to rec leagues) and often tried to signup with kids and families we liked. I found it more about socialization than anything, really.

I don’t think age 6 is reflective of what a kid’s interests may be down the road.

I definitely echo the martial arts recommendation. All three of my kids did martial arts at some point- only one stuck with it but all benefitted. Golf, tennis, swim team etc are also great. Lacrosse is certainly popular but he is probably too young?

I would also look at your local community rec program offerings and places like the JCC. Our local JCC offered some unique sports classes that my kids enjoyed at various times (things like “mini triathalon” classes, and other general sports/exercise classes that were fun and different). We signed up for a lot of that sort of thing when my kids were in early elementary- I liked that things were affordable priced and low commitment. I’m not a fan of anything serious or pricey for that age. Rarely worth the time/effort or $. [/quote]
