[quote=Anonymous]My DD is the exact same, and same age group. She is not very aggressive at all and would be the last person on the field to run another player down. However, she LOVES her not super competitive team and has a great time playing in practice and games. She never wants to miss. The kids are well matched skill wise (among team members) and the parents thankfully have a good sense of where the girls are. We make it fun for them, schedule activities and try to make soccer about being active and camaraderie.

I say this because sports is about so much more than the high levels of competition. Know where your kid is and cater to that skill level. Put him on the right team. We never considered an academy/travel team for DD because that is not a good fit for her, and it is a decision that served her well.

By contrast, our DS is hyper competitive and aggressive and he needs high levels of competition.

Your kid sounds like he can still have a great time playing soccer in the right environment. If he can continue to stay in shape and keep his body moving, it will definitely serve him through his disability. [/quote]
