[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else think it's just sad that a child at the young age of 8 years old can't easily take up a new sport and learn it without feeling embarrassed about his mistakes as he's learning? Sports are just way too competitive for our tastes I guess.[/quote] I Totally agree. My DD didn't want to do soccer until this year (3rd grade) -- well, at the ripe old age of 9, apparently it's not really acceptable to join a team as a novice! It's great that kids are getting involved at early ages (i.e. 4), but it puts those who don't find their interest until a perfectly normal age of 8, 9, 10 in a difficult position b/c it's too late! That's the down side to having all these preschool leagues/classes. [/quote] If your DD is still interested just sign up for a couple of summer soccer camp sessions. That should help her catch up pretty quickly. My DD didn't start playing lacrosse until 7th grade and started with a summer camp.[/quote]
