[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have him try sports classes instead of a camp or a competitive team. A sports class has less pressure to do well. Btdt with sports camp. My son quit the first day. Sports camps aren't for beginners.[/quote] My son is the same age and we are dealing with the same thing. I am not ready to give up on exposing him to team sports, I think regular exercise is especially important for him since his first inclination is always to stay inside and play video games. I agree that the sports classes (offered by the rec centers) are a less intimidating way to get familiar with sports. I feel like this area is insane in terms of its expectations of kids and sports, but I'm hoping that he will actually have an easier time as he gets older and the better athletes leave for travel teams.[/quote]
