[quote=Anonymous]It is also meant to be fun!  The boys like it -- and that is part of STA, they get boys.  They understand that they need to be out and about and not cooped up and sitting and listening all the time...so part of the playdate/visit is actual playing.  They usually play crab soccer or crab football or sometimes I've heard basketball.  Athletic talent does not matter.  My son's year the least athletic kid (and someone half the size of my son) scored two goals in a crab soccer game.  probably the only time in that kid's life he scored two goals in anything actually, but that is not what mattered.  Just like any other part of the visit, they look for the interaction.  Is the boy a good sport?  Is he engaged?  I've heard that you can bribe a kid to be best behaved when you walk in and shake hands and look them in the eye and introduce yourself blah blah but the "real" kid comes out during this kind of play.  So my advice to any of you actually applying, make sure that you tell your son to be a good sport and a good friend and a nice kid during the game too!!
