[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of a fairly athletic child who is currently interested only in the classic American sports (football, baseball, and basketball), I'm noticing that there is a push to specialize kids earlier and earlier. I'm wondering if any coaches or trainers reading this might comment on whether a kid who doesn't play a sport intensively by age 12/13 gets locked out of that sport forever? For example, my 10-year old DS currently has no interest in lacrosse, soccer, or tennis. If he doesn't start one of these other sport by 12, does that mean he can't play them in his teens, except on a recreational basis? [/quote]
