[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Commiseration. I have a beginner boy player (11 yo). He played with a previously mentioned rec team this spring and has found it hard to be “the worst” on the team which is filled with kids who have been playing for 4+ years. Doesn’t help that kids can be pretty mean about his lack of skill.  I’ve been looking for a summer camp and a HS boy to teach him fundamentals over the summer. Some of the camps I’ve found for his age/grade specifically state they are for intermediate/advanced players, so I will be calling before committing to a camp. The last thing I want is for him to be in a camp filled with travel kids.[/quote]

Not sure your location but Marymount is going to be doing some sort of their summer camp and I think weekly clinics, that might end up being a very approachable level of "competition" for him.

A billion people will tell you he needs to do wall ball (which is true) but to find a way to enjoy a bit of skill development helps a ton, having a friend or sibling or parent or neighbor to throw around with and try stuff out with is super helpful. The HS kid you mentioned can help with that role, but having a low risk situation to try stuff out helps a ton.

Good luck![/quote]
