Wrestling has been really awesome for my sons, who are also golfers. Wrestling teaches so much discipline and it’s been great for them: totally recommend, especially if you have a little or big guy/ teams always need heavyweights and featherweights. Good team bonding in an individual sport.

Does he prefer the team aspect of playing a sport, i.e. having a big team around him both on and off the field, or is he okay being out there on the court by himself under pressure?

Aren't they different seasons? Why can't he do both?

Not true

The better tennis teams are packed with kids that have probably spent $10-$20K on tennis before 9th grade.

If he doesn't know how to play a sport already, he can find success in football, wrestling, xc, track without years of prior training.

Golf and tennis he might not make the team - the other kids have been getting private lessons since they were toddlers.

Do enough football and you will have no brain, anyway.

Tennis costs almost as much as golf to be good at.

Both tennis and football are really popular/competitive

If your child plays on a less popular sport like golf, tennis or wrestling team, what has their experience been like? My child is deciding between tennis or playing on the football team.
