[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, it’s kind of hard for a kid these days to “play” on his own outside if he doesn’t have friends to play soccer with.

Try getting him a rebounder and a small goal he can practice with on his own and make it fun time for the two of you to play/practice together. If he still isn’t into it, just let him be. I suspect he’ll enjoy the time with you and grow to like little backyard soccer time more.

And if not, let him decide if he wants to keep playing. If he does - great! Just let him enjoy it at his own pace. [/quote]

I kind of disagree with this. My DS is U10 and since he was 7 he will pick up the ball and juggle all day throughout the house. My youngest DS is only 4 and obsessed with soccer and basketball. He practices shots for both shots alone by himself in the basement for up to an hour at a time. Their individual passions for the sport are clear.

OP- does your DS have the opportunity to or choose to play soccer during recess? If not, then that's definitely a red flag and I'd explore other sports. Rec at this age is fine until you determine what he's most interested in and then invest there. [/quote]
