[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are some sports (hockey, baseball/softball, dance), where the technical skills and knowledge build in such a way that it takes a looooong time to get good. A kid who starts Little League at 12 will be at a disadvantage. (Unless they're sized like a 14 year old. In which case, with a little coaching they can stand at the plate and just hammer the ball.) [b]Other sports -- tennis, swimming, basketball -- can be picked up whenever.[/b] Your kids don't have to excel at everything. They don't even have to excel at something. They may be perfectly happy doing a different thing each season -- and local/rec/house level sports are great for carpools.[/quote] Unless your kids are naturally insanely coordinated, they will be a huge disadvantage if they pick up any of those sports at 12 or later. [/quote] Truth. Guy is living in a bubble cause his kids play only hockey or baseball [/quote]
