[quote=Anonymous]I’m realizing my two boys are really fit, fast, energetic. They can climb trees, run forever, and they have endurance for long bike rides. Muscular builds run in both mine and DH’s genes.

But, in sports, they don’t have confidence, focus, or aggressiveness. They’re always short on height too.

Our experiences in rec so far have them in the 45th percentile of all players….not bad but sometimes not contributing well.

I thought we’d find a sport for them. They’re individually, respectively, liking soccer and basketball. It hit me recently that the same kids that are top in basketball, are top in baseball, are top in soccer, any sport, if they want to be.

What’s the fitness plan for my kids until high school? More than ever, more than in the 90s and 00s, you can really lose a kid to video games. Well, my kids LOVE computers and games. It’s antithetical to my worldview to allow that to be their life. (Part of their life, ok.)

Keep them in rec? Does it help or hurt confidence? Rec is way more skilled and competitive. I wish there was a size and skill breakdown instead of age breakdown, but I understand the ease of the age breakdown…
