Team sports kept me connected to my age peers and allowed me to introduce myself to my class peers when I was radically accelerated. Soccer is particularly age-independent if you are a decent player and not playing at an elite level. Sports served to anchor me to my age group.

So if you are worried about social stuff, sports can be the anchor for this.
