[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. 3.5. I know this is super young but DC will probably need to work on some foundational skills first that a NT kid would naturally have. [/quote]

I can't speak for other sports but I put my kid in parent and me soccer classes starting when he was 2 because we wanted to get an early introduction to sports/physical activity.  I did not know at that time (until I had other kids) how unathletic and uncoordinated he was and to be frank, quite uninterested.  I thought that was just normal kid behavior as he was my first.  So he was often distracted and it was challenging getting him to focus all the time.  But we persisted with those classes and then putting him in a small soccer club where he continued to practice 2-3 times a week.  He did not play matches however until he was around 8 as he had no desire to compete until around that time.  He is almost in high school and plays travel soccer and he is actually quite good, maybe not D1 good but at least in this area, good enough to play in high school and maybe D3 or D2.  He is also super thankful we stuck with it because he's proud to be a good soccer player and has no interest in any other sports, even sports which at this point, he might even be better at.  Good luck![/quote]
