DS7 enjoys games at school, but his report came home saying "Colin tries hard at hockey. He doesn't find it easy, but he really tries hard. He has made good progress at [some practice skill] but now needs to employ this in games. He's always polite and cheerful and he always tries his best." IOW, he's just as bad at it as I was and DH was :-) Which is interesting, because we had always assumed that our badness at team games was because of a combination of shortsightedness and unfitness, and so have taken care to check/ensure that C doesn't suffer from either. And it doesn't help. Ah well, we tried, and at least so far he doesn't seem to mind, and he does have other sports to enjoy (fencing, especially).
