[quote=Anonymous]It isn’t the 30 to 45 minute activity you do once a week that is important if you want your kid to do well in sports, it is what you do most other days. My husband loves soccer so he bought a little net and played soccer out on the backyard with my son as soon as he could walk. My son could drop kick a ball at 18 months. It was an activity they both enjoyed so they played a lot of backyard soccer and then later little neighborhood kids joined in. When my son started real organized soccer at 5 he was so much better than kids who went to a once a week class starting at age 2. I played softball as a kid so my other son was more interested in baseball. I played hours of catch with him in the backyard. Obviously when he went to pay t-ball at 5 he was really good. By 6 he was known in our little league as being a good player and was picked to be on all star teams. I don’t think he was naturally a gifted player he just got an early start. [/quote]
