[quote=Anonymous]I think being "good" at a sport is good for kids' confidence, so I think some specialization is healthy and worthwhile. Plus, playing at a higher level can be helpful in getting a leg up in admission to some schools. That said, in addition to some specialization for my kids, I also want them to have exposure to other sports that are fun and they may want to know how to play now or in the future: - throw and catch a football and baseball - toss a Frisbee - basic tennis - ping pong - odd to list maybe but seems most adults know how to play pretty well - row a rowboat and paddle a canoe - read the wind and sail a sailboat - camping/hiking - set up a tent and build a fire, outdoor sleeping experience, plus basic knife usage/whittling - swimming/diving - be able to do decently and safely, understanding water safety too - fishing - how to hook a worm, cast a line, take a hook out of a fish - shooting/hunting - basic gun usage and safety [/quote]
