[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids around here start sports before kindergarten. That's not to say you can't join at anytime but if your child really wants to do a sport the sooner the better. Not only will their skills further develop, but they may realize they don't like it at all and I would rather find that out in second grade than as a junior. [/quote] Have you seen a bunch of kindergartners “play” soccer lately? It’s completely unnecessary if you decide to skip the early years. Starting to learn a sport at 4th or 5th grade is fine. Kids who start at that age quickly catch up to kids who started earlier. The early years can be spent on playgrounds, in water, in camps, riding bikes, playing fun games with balls and other equipment with family or friends. This will prepare kids for sports as much or more than a bunch of five year olds kicking at the same ball. [/quote]
