[quote=Anonymous]My kid plays football. I definitely tried to steer him in other directions. We tried soccer, gymnastics, martial arts, swimming, dance . . . but football's what he loves, and it's what matches his body type and his natural skills. In the end, the choices he has for fall seem to be 1) force him to play a sport he doesn't enjoy, 2) have him come home at 2:20 every day, with 4 hours to get in trouble before I get off work or 3) Let him play football, with a careful eye out for concussions, and know that he'll be busy, and happy, and supervised, and getting exercise every day after school. Of those football seemed to present the least problems. I wouldn't put a six year old on a football team, or pressure a kid to play who didn't want to play, but if, like my kid, he had tried other sports, and on his own decided he wanted to try football, then I'd let him do it again.[/quote]
