[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sure, encourage him again but don’t press too hard.  My son didn’t get into a team sport until 5th grade and then only wanted to do it because his friends were playing.   He’s now on the HS team.  He doesn’t start and sometimes doesn’t play much or at all in games but he has fun. He has friends on the team and enjoys practices.  The only point of sports is if they are enjoying it.  My son has no desire to play in college.   You are right, it helps socially later if they have a basic understanding of some games.  My son went with friends to watch the first day of the NFL last weekend.  It’s social.  They don’t have to play them all.  He wasn’t the least bit interested in any of this at 7.

+1 about not trying to hard! If you aren't cautious you can make the kid hate the sport and resent you.

You can also try doing it as a family instead. I know that your parents didn't push sports so you might not know how to play soccer, but it's never too late to learn. :)

Also it's pretty easy to learn how to throw a football. I'm very not into sports but I can do that. [/quote]
