[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, there's no youth sports race at 2 years old.  Look at soccer  shots.[/quote]

OP here. We don't want to get her involved with a soccer program that will eventually become crazy. We don't want that to become her friend circle; we'd rather she start to build friendships with kids in programs that are more oriented around having fun and learning teamwork. [/quote]

Soccer is a team sport, and probably more "team" oriented than most team sports.  But not at 3, because 3 yrs olds are not "team" oriented,  at any sport, or anything else for that matter.   As a young parent,  you'd do well to educate yourself a little on the psychological stages of child development.

As far as early activities,  best advice is to try to get then interested in things that you're interested in.  It's easiest and best for everyone when that works out.

OP here. I meant an eventual emphasis on teamwork and not just competition; not now.[/quote]

As said earlier, just kick the ball around. Have foam balls in the house to kick around. Comfort with the ball is all that is necessary at this age. You can do it all for free just by playing with your kid. You do not need to be amazing yourself. Just encourage moving with the ball.[/quote]
