+1. You’ll probably start him in a red league this spring right? Unless he’s very unathletic, no need for private training to “catch up”. He won’t be behind the others. My kid is on a U12 rec team and many of the players (his team and opponents) aren’t that skilled. If your son is nervous then sign him up for winter training as PP suggested.
