How do you help young gifted boys who are kind of "nerdy," immature, and uninterested in traditional sports.
You could try playing soccer with him (kicking the ball around your yard or at the park) to see if that helps in getting him interested.
Team sports are a great way to socialize, bond with friends and teaches team work besides other things. There are winter camps and summer camps for team sports and you could see if attending one is an option for your son. From observing the social dynamics between 6 year old boys, I think that playing a sport involving a ball is the quickest way to make friends
My DS7 isn't exactly non athletic- he swims and does martial arts. He is just uninterested and anxious about traditional sports (soccer, basketball, baseball, etc).
Wait until your DS gets a black belt! All boys love cool nina tricks and your DS will be very popular
