[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I fully support keeping your son active, but be aware that at a certain age, boys will start to lose patience with your son if he cannot contribute to the team. We saw this play out badly for a teammate on our Rec basketball team. I think I noticed the shift from "happy Joey is here" to "good lord, he STILL can't catch the ball/dribble/shoot/learn the plays" around 11 or 12. At that point, the social element goes out the window and boys start to realize that this kid is putting them at a disadvantage (even on a Rec team)[/quote]

Op here. I am worried about what you say that teammates may find him annoyed one day because he does not contribute to the team. For swimming, it is an individual sport. For soccer, he can stay in the back playing more of a quiet & defense role running back and forth. It is not that noticable yet. For basketball, it is really tough and sometimes awkward to see him playing even at rec. county run team. He tries his best for sure. He is good at shooting balls in a hoop if no one blocks him. He is average height and average build. DH used to play at college basketball, and I have been asking him to coach him at free time. Unfortunately, my son does not like to play with or learn from his dad because DH beats him every time. DH is 6' 3". If he gets kicked out of basketball rec. team one day, I hope that I can find him a substitute rec. team sport for replacement. [/quote]
