[quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid, my parents - who knew nothing about sports - signed me up for rec basketball. I had never touched a basketball, didn’t know I was supposed to dribble, and didn’t know the rules. I don’t recall any practices, but I remember one game where every time I touched the ball I got called for traveling. It was not fun at all If you’re not a sports person, sign your kid up for a skills class in a sport that they might like. Unlike a rec league, they won’t be expected to know the rules and sport-specific skills — it will all be about learning. My son had done skills classes in t-ball, soccer and basketball by 3rd grade. Basketball is the one that stuck and he was playing for a top high school team and a top club team by high school. He also tried track, cross country, and rowing along the way, and still now (in college) enjoys pickup basketball. [/quote]
