Hi everyone - thank you so much for your help! It has transpired that the soccer is on a hard surface, which is why the teachers are concerned. He has been told that he can't play with them on that surface, he can only play soccer with them if they are playing on the grass. Unfortunately they wont play on the grass. In the meantime DS has decided to revert to playing football with his age-mates during recess. I knew that he would slip back into this "comfort zone" and I feel that it is a shame that such a big thing was made about him playing with the older boys as it has put him off! We will have to see what happens in the next few weeks...
Thanks for all your thoughts
