[quote=Anonymous]Yes, you shouldn't force it after age 7, IMO. Before then is fine so they can try various sports and see what they may like or be good at. Before age 8, most teams sports are watered-down versions anyway. In soccer they pretty much just all chase the ball and you have the random kids who just plop down for a rest right in the middle of the pitch. In baseball, they still have a pitching machine or coach pitching. In flag football, it's pretty much just run after the person with the ball. Lacrosse is a mixture of running around and sword fighting with their sticks. Second grade, age 8, is when you start to see the kids really getting serious about the sport. They start learning the positions, plays, more rules, etc. [/quote]
