[quote=Anonymous]Allow your DC to do all the sports you can logistically handle at this age. That doesn't mean ALL sports. We've always let our DC choose one travel sport and then do as many rec sports that fit in the schedule. Three same season rec sports don't fit into a schedule. Too many people specialize at a way to young age in the DMV. Promote your child's athleticism. Hand-eye coordination, footwork, speed, balance, quickness, strength, endurance, etc. are all needed to be a good athlete, but specializing in just one sport does not give you all of these skills. A star soccer player that can't catch a football or swim freestyle is missing out and is not a star athlete. Don't worry about size at this point you never know. I'm 6'1" and both of my parents were well under the averages for height. Let your DC choose what to play. Sounds like they are dedicated to many sports and if you pair that with athleticism that's a good recipe for success. Good luck.[/quote]
