[quote=Anonymous]OP, my very non-athletic son is now 9 and we had to try a different approach. No team sports, because he refused to be humiliated on stage, as PPs so accurately pointed out. Although I, mom, very much see the value in team building and camaraderie, I instead push (insist) that DS do individual "sports" and "activities" instead to stay active. Hiking, kayaking, canoeing, skiing, cycling, rock climbing, "jogging" with me (omg, so painful, so slow). Oh, and a non-competing branch of the swim "team" in our city. Let me assure you, this is so, so much harder logistically than driving a kid to soccer 3x a week to the same places at the same time. But IMO, it must be done for health. I know that's not what you asked -- you wanted *team* sports -- but this is working for DS. Somehow.[/quote]
