I can tell you my DD was the SAME WAY though now she is getting better that she is 8. DS is totally in that phase and knowing that with time, she came around.... I am ok with the time being. I also found that there are more non-traditional sports that are available that are of more interest to my child than the usual. For example, less physical ones that don't require much running or whatever. there is swimming, fencing, archery... think outside the box and perhaps something will strike his fancy
. Give hime time... he'll join when he is ready. Personally, I don't think sports alone will get one very far (the far and few that actually make it somewhere) but the skills learned by being on a team, cooperation, working together and dealing with personalities that don't always mix are a great thing about being in sports. It helps well round a child but I don't think it's the most important thing as some parents do.
