[quote=Anonymous]Does he "want" to play on teams with his friends? My son is similar. Not a superstar at all, and very slow to learn sports. But he's gotten better each year and is average now at 8. But he is very clear on what sports or activities he likes or dislikes. He hates competition, so while he's pretty good at swimming, he's on a fun winter swim team that doesn't compete. I loved team sports as a kid and well into adulthood. But it's not for everyone. Instead, I'm just exposing my son to different activities. I include ones that could be lifetime activities to help him stay active and fit. He likes running, for example, so we do fun runs. And while he has continued with baseball, I wouldn't be surprised if he drops that soon. I just signed him up for fencing and he loves that. You may try more individual sports later like tennis. But even if he doesn't like that, it's not the end of the world. [/quote]
