Neither DS nor DD are stellar at sports. And my impression is that rec sports go away after that. It’s all travel, club, or HS teams which are competitive due to school size.[/quote]

Why are you so dismissive of their abilities? They are young. A lot of athletes mature into their skills late.

Kids change a lot in puberty. Yes, some always have low tone, but speaking as someone at the opposite end, you don’t always know who is going to be the college athlete. My kid had a friend who was a low tone kid in kindergarten with a lot of therapist visits who is now a D3 cross country runner.

I’m just saying kids are not always predictable, and a kid with passion and work ethic can do very well athletically. [/quote]
