[quote=Anonymous]I’d choose one sport per season (a bit of overlap is okay), and take things season by season. Avoid club/travel sports of any type until he is approaching middle school/6th grade or so. They are NOT necessary, in any way, before then (no matter what you may hear from others). He will mostly likely gravitate to a few favorite sports on his own. Focus on general athleticism and having fun. As someone else said: sports skill in elementary has absolutely zero correlation with success later on. For most sports, you won’t have any real indication of skill until the kids are completely through puberty. The idea is to keep them playing as many sports as they enjoy, until that time. The vast majority of kids have zero potential to play college sports, so I’d never make that a focus. Most kids won’t have the genes/size/natural talent. [/quote]
