[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In other words, DS does fine on drills. But a real game situation is different. (For him.) [/quote] If this is true, its probably nerves and lack of confidence. The best thing would be a lower level rec league that focuses on making sports fun over winning and losing. If he's not an elite athlete for his grade, it could also be that he's young too. My experience has been that the better athletes at each grade are kids who are 6-9 months older than their peers. Just focus on getting your kid to have FUN at sports. If playing sports is stressful and he's worried about making a mistake, he'll do worse. If he's having fun, having some success, and also "surviving" failure in a rec league, he'll probably get better. In short, have fun, gain confidence, and hopefully he won't be the last kid picked.
