[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh, was considering signing up my 3 year old DD up next year but after reading this thread I think we will just put her in softball.[/quote] Same circus, different clowns. [/quote] Not quite. Soccer is CRAZY from a very young age. Maybe lacrosse too. Other sports in my experience don't have a large amount of crazy from the jump. [/quote] 3 yr old? Have her try all the sports each season until she’s 6 or 7 or 8 and/or until she clearly gravitates to one. Soccer, softball, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, golf, tennis. That’s what we did and it seemed to have worked well. One daughter is now very competitive at soccer and the other does non-sport activities. They both used these experiences to figure out what they liked and didn’t. We did not concentrate the one on soccer until U9, it was her choice, and she still played b-ball a few more winters too.
