[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Volleyball! They don't really start until 5th grade. I know because I have the 9 y.o. who has wanted to do it for two years now.[/quote] Good call (and great sport). [b]The folks saying tennis have no clue -- huge advantage for early starters.[/b] [/quote] Given the responses on this thread, it seems like it might be more helpful for OP or others who have the same question to hear about what seems to be the relatively smaller number of sports that might be hard (though by no means impossible for the athletically gifted) to break into later because of the advantage for early starters that PP identified. PP mentionted tennis. I'd add soccer, basketball, and hockey, all of which require skills that take a long time to fully develop.[/quote]
