[quote=Anonymous]If I understand OP correctly, perhaps her child shows no talent in dance and isn't even average. I think it is hard to enjoy an activity if you are really bad at it. I don't plan on signing up my kids for basketball or volleyball because they are short. I will play basketball at the park with them but I am not willing to spend the money or time for them to be on a team. My son isn't great at baseball but since he isn't the worse and he enjoys it I signed him up last year.  There were a couple of kids who were truly awful on the team. They looked like they werent having any fun because they struck out every time (it was easy coach pitch) and only played outfield becausd they couldnt catch a ball.  On the other hand he is a really good at soccer so I am willing to spend the time and money on club soccer, camps, etc.

I think it is a cycle -so he liked to kick a ball as a toddler, he started soccer classes at three, he played with us in the backyard, he was the best on his first soccer team and got praised for it which motivated him more to keep playing every day. He got on a pre-club team and got access to better coaches, better competition,  more playing time. [/quote]
