[quote=Anonymous]My son was diagnosed with ADHD through extensive testing by a psychiatrist when he was in elementary school - 2rd grade IIRC. He played sports and we did notice attentiveness type issues when not in an active game situation - like when drills were being explained, etc. At U10, we switched clubs since he did not get picked up to move onto a non-rec type team with the current club - club tech director did cite his "coachability" as part of the reason why. After a discussion with the technical director of the new club and going to a few sessions with the new club, he ended playing the rest of his school age years there. He did take medication, but not specifically for soccer. Meds got adjusted quite a bit early on and then after a bit, we settled in on dosages and times. He played club soccer, HS soccer and house league basketball and enjoyed his time as part of the team and by HS, the ADHD stuff in sports at least worked itself out. [/quote]
