[quote=Anonymous]We let mine stop doing organized sports in spring of fourth grade. He wasn't into it, he just wanted to be on a team with his friends with minimal commitment, but that's the age when they started shifting to more serious time commitments (club or travel instead of rec, 3-4 day sports instead of 2) and nobody wanted to reorganize the entire family's schedules to force him into that. Instead, we bought some passes for a boulder gym and a ninja gym and focused more on getting outside for family bike rides last spring and fall. We've let all that lapse a bit this winter, so I am considering making him sign up for a running club in the spring with a friend - he doesn't like the sound of it but he likes being a good runner, and you don't get that sitting at home. Might conflict with a club he wants to do though. The friends part is tough. Mine tends to gravitate to less sporty kids who are a little more nerdy- his interests too. [/quote]
