[quote=Anonymous]OP I would let your kid at least try it.  I did crossfit for a few months before getting pregnant and still haven't gotten back into it but I miss it. CF is a good fit for people who really 1) like a challenge and need that workout high of accomplishing something each workout 2) people who are fine with the group dynamic (eg, folks cheering for you or having to post your times on a board at the end of each workout so everyone knows your business).  I do know folks who get injured but they tend to be the ones that push themselves the hardest.  Heck, I know people who get injured in yoga.   I also think there is a different vibe at each crossfit "box" some are more hardcore than others. Some offer more variation to the workout so everyone feels like they can do it.   Based on what you said, CF might be a good fit for your kid.  At first it will be hard as hell but once he actually starts learning new skills etc and gets to know the kids he will feel like part of a team and that means learning to support and cheer for others as well.  If he hates it, quit.  You decide how many times a week he can go.  You could also look into a personal crossfit trainer to do one one on one as well.   Its been two years but damn, I still remember the feeling I got the first time I was able to do double unders with the jump rope...[/quote]
