[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s so hard.  I hate hearing my ten year old say he is too old to try a new sport, but I hate even more than he is right. [/quote]

What??

I started taking ballet lessons at 28. No, I wasn't going to be a prima ballerina, but I could have fun, use my body, and learn something. Isn't that the point??[/quote]

I’m sorry but he’s right! My son is 14 years old and he cannot start on a sport now because every other kid has already been doing it for 10 years and since there are no other kids starting off, he would be the worst kid by far. There are no beginners and that makes it very hard for anybody wanting to start off. for example, my son can’t start on football right now, because everybody else is  much more experience. I’m talking county rec teams and forget about high school football , there’s just no room for him on the team.

My brother was always coordinated/athletic but never into sports as a kid. We were an active family. Started playing flag football in college with his fraternity and quickly realized he was the best player. That opened him up to playing every sport there is, albeit on a rec level, throughout his 20s, meeting lots of friends, staying in shape and having a blast. High school is not the end of your life.[/quote]
