This summer I decided to sign all my boys up for football. Now my older two boys started playing football at the ages of 5 and 6, so I figured since my 2 little ones were 5 and 7 it would be o.k. So not the case. Practices started in early July and it was great. The kids were all excited about meeting new and old friends. They or should I say we were there Mon.-Fri. from 6pm-8pm. fast forward to when the season actually started and it was a mess. My big boys at 11 and 12 have done this before so they were fine. On the other hand, the two little ones were a mess. they didn't want to play because they didn't want to get hit, or they were tired, whatever. It was just excuse after excuse. in the beginning, I would make them go no matter what. I mean, I spent money to sign them up and on the extras that they needed such as cups,under armor, cleats and the oh so special socks they just
HAD to have. however, as it slowly got worse with the complaining , I stop making them go. My big thing is , I believe that the younger they start the better chance they have of going pro. So my question today is...
How young is to young for sports.
