[quote=Anonymous]If there's a sport team your son really loves but isn't good at, you can likely do 1:1 lessons, like ball handling skills for soccer. Hopefully that would be enough to help him hold his own. We have a middle schooler who loves sports (follows football and baseball obsessively), but isn't particularly gifted...so we focus on one team sport, soccer, where he plays goalie (and he is finally good at it!). Aside from soccer, he has a lot of endurance, so he does swim team and a lot of cycling with his dad. He also has taken snowboard lessons on 1-2 ski trips every winter. He does sailing camp in the summer (we live near Annapolis). Snowboarding, skiiing, cycling and sailing are all great nonteam sports you can do as an adult with friends and also stay fit. I was very nonathletic as a kid and my parents were the same...I'm very glad my DH has worked with my son to find athletic activities he can do well at and enjoy.[/quote]
