Organized sports for preschoolers? I know they exist, but why?

Buy him a soccer ball and let him run around your backyard. Let him be a kid!

haha, that made me laugh


In all seriousness, wait a couple more years. If you think hockey might be a possibility, teach him how to skate...no competition, just basic skills. Water sports? Take him to swimming lessons. No events. Kids that age haven't even developed all of their motor skills yet, yet alone the cognitive abilities to understand the concepts of what they're doing. It'd be a waste of money and possbily detrimental in the long run. Yep, wait until elementary school for any organized sports.

I agree with the other posters here. Get him a ball and let him run and kick it around for another year or two.

Most kids in T-ball are 5-6 years old. He's too young right now for martial arts training or really any other type of organized sport. Get him a nerf football and play catch with him.

To be serious, I played organized soccer when I was 3, or at least 4. It was in pre-school. It was called "It's a kick" and it was awesome. I ton of kids did it in my town. I don't remember but I am going to guess it wasn't too vigorous

Do yourself, and your kid, a HUGE favor, and put off sports until he's at least six.

I've coached little league and I can tell you that the kids are into the game for about three nanoseconds. After that, they're tired of playing and want to go do something else. So then you, the parent, are obligated to schlep it out to the ballfield for something you and your kid don't want to do.

its the kids decision if he really wants to be trained for soccer... talk about it with him and if it doesnt work out just buy him a ball for him to kick the ball around.

Most places don't have soccer or t-ball until age 4 or 5. Try gymnastics, he's just the right age to start and it is a great for flexability and and will help him if he wants to play other sports in the future. Check out this link:http://www.flipcitygymnasticsacademy...GYMNASTICS.pdf
