HAHAHAH! My kid sucks at team sports ;-) Can I have a more un-braggish statement than that!
Okay, at 5 he played t-ball. The league had a no scorekeeping rule and a no outs rule. Everyone plays, everyone hits. So my smart alek would walk backwards to base. Why? Because he could! It drove me nuts and totally embarrassed me!
The following year he played baseball. He thought that scorekeeping and actual outs would help. Nope. He was totally disinterested in the competition part after taking a ball in the hand in batting practice the first week. He just refused to get in the box at all. He loved practice, hanging out with the team and being in the dugout. He finished the season but never hit a ball or caught a ball or made a play. He just wasn't interested.
He's in gymnastics now at almost 8 and is starting track in a few weeks. He did well in swimming when he was younger but isn't interested in the time commitment for a swim team.
