[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so hard.  I hate hearing my ten year old say he is too old to try a new sport, but I hate even more than he is right. [/quote]

What??

I started taking ballet lessons at 28. No, I wasn't going to be a prima ballerina, but I could have fun, use my body, and learn something. Isn't that the point??[/quote]

I’m sorry but he’s right! My son is 14 years old and he cannot start on a sport now because every other kid has already been doing it for 10 years and since there are no other kids starting off, he would be the worst kid by far. There are no beginners and that makes it very hard for anybody wanting to start off. for example, my son can’t start on football right now, because everybody else is  much more experience. I’m talking county rec teams and forget about high school football , there’s just no room for him on the team.

Yes 14 is too old unless he’s an athletic freak and that could possibly happen in football or basketball but 10 is certainly not too old to try many sports [/quote]

Remember The Blind Side.  It could happen.[/quote]

I have weirdly good hand eye coordination and athleticism that one of my children inherited. Im not a unicorn and disagree with the PPP poster's opinion. Athleticism, fitness, intelligence, and some talent can equal "club team since 6" in most sports. You learn the rules, you watch some tape, and show up. [/quote]
