[quote=Anonymous]Depends on the sport. Depends on your kid. Depends what your goals are. Depends on how much your kid bugs you to play vs how much of this is you driving the train. There is always a rec league for nearly all sports. He could easily start rec basketball in 6th grade. Rec basketball continues through high school. Many opportunities to play tennis all along. There are people having kids play two travel sports at one time in elementary school. It's easy to get sucked in thinking you "have" to do it to stay competitive or have any chance of playing sports later in childhood. Really not true. For me and my family, we stuck with casual rec sports all through elementary school. Both my tried anything they were interested in. Our one kid continued one sport pretty casually through high school. Our other kid wanted to get more competitive, so we allowed one travel sport starting middle school. She still plays in high school.[/quote]
