My son is 6 1/2, in 1st grade (though goes to 2nd grade for math and also to a pull-out session with the gifted teacher). He loves loves loves soccer - has been playing since he was 4, spring, summer, fall, and this year indoor winter soccer (in the 5 and 6 year old co-ed group). The last day of this session is this coming weekend, and today I got an e-mail from the soccer person telling me that next session I sign him up for, I should sign him up with the age group above him (7 and 8 year old boys) Apparently, he IS as good as we think he is smile It'll certainly be interesting - he's already the smallest in his group, so he'll be tiny compared to the 7 and 8 year olds - but he is SO up for the challenge - yeah smile
