[quote=Anonymous]Lots of sports little kids can’t really play at all. That is why soccer is such a big sport for little kids. The big thing is to be active and to encourage participation. Years back I followed a thread on a soccer coaches website about how old could a kid be to start playing soccer and still end up a competitive player. Obviously no specifics were possible, but the consensus was that an athletic kid with good quickness, speed and coordination could start at 12 if they were diligent after starting. Do stuff that is fun and try things out. The one mandatory kid sport for us was summer swim team. We joined one of those summer swim clubs so the kids could be on the swim team. None of our kids were particularly good at swimming, but 2-3 years of being on one of those low key teams for a couple of months made all of them very good swimmers. We did not worry about them headed off to a friends pool to swim. [/quote]
