We had a similar experience with our 6yr old - started with baseball and he loved it at first and then complained about too much running. We still made him finish the season because I don't want to encourage quitting, but if he wanted to move to something else, that's fine. Now he's taking pool lessons. Not real strenuous, but it IS a sport :) <abbr><em>whalls last blog post..<a href="http://whall.org/blog/2008/11/17/get-yersome-some/" rel="nofollow">Get yersome some</a></abbr></em> That is awesome.

Glad he found a sport he actually likes and doesn't feel forced into it. Maybe another good thing is that since the ex played too, maybe this is something that can bring them closer as dad and son. <abbr><em>AndiMACs last blog post..<a href="http://andimac1.blogspot.com/2008/10/consistancy.html" rel="nofollow">Consistancy....</a></abbr></em> That is awesome!

Playing both brought me the best times of my life. At present I do spend more time playing basketball because just like Marty had said, all you need is a ball and a hoop and you're all set. Good luck on your kid. <abbr><em>Rebos last blog post..<a href="http://rebzombie.com/2008/11/14/sex-and-the-city/" rel="nofollow">A Guy’s Perspective on Sex and the City</a></abbr></em> My first love was soccer and then basketball.

I loved basketball. It was the only sport I could play halfway decently. It's important that they find something they really like - even if they aren't the very best at it.

I lack the gene that makes me make my kids play sports. If they want to play, that's fine. (However, sports playing or not I like them to be active.) I was never a great basketball play -- at 6'4" and a hair my strength was hanging around under the board and not complaining too much as people beat on me while rebounding. <abbr><em>delmers last blog post..<a href="http://www.delmer.com/?p=1634" rel="nofollow">Survivor Corps – Returning Troops</a></abbr></em> Congrats to The Kid.

As you know, I'm not very tall (5ft 7in), but that hasn't stopped me from playing. There is no greater satisfaction for me than blocking a shot of someone taller than me. It's a great sport and you can play by yourself so long as you have a basketball and a basket. Great choice!
