I have been contemplating lately on when to put my son in organized sports.  He is four years old and he turns five in November.  He has amazing left arm and his kicking ability is superb.  I noticed this when he was three when he picked up a tennis ball and sent a line drive buzzing at my head.  Keep in mind that I don’t want to be one of those parents that forces their kids to play sports.  I grew up down the street from a boy that his dad made him pitch in his backyard at 12 years old instead of riding bikes and climbing trees like every other boy.  I think that I will wait until he is 5 or 6.  I want him to understand the flow of the game.  The main goal is for him to exercise and have fun.  I was thinking tee ball and soccer.
