[quote=Anonymous]OP, I have a DS that is like you're describing. A natural athlete, plays various sports etc. We haven't pushed at all. We're in rec leagues only. He asks to sign up for stuff with his school friends and if we can make it happen, we do. There's this other kid on one of his soccer teams that is not as athletic as DS, and that was very clear a year ago when they were playing together. That kid's dad arranged for a coach to work 1:1 with him. Now, that kid is easily as good as my DS, if not better. I'm sure the kid loves soccer and loves to play! But the parents are making the decision to invest in the "extras" that will make a difference in a highly-competitive area. Now I'm stuck wondering if we're doing the wrong thing by being chill, especially since DS is only 6!![/quote]
