I'm concerned that the other kids will be way more expereinced than him with sports. He has an incredibly personality and is an amazing kids but he is already way behind in reading and math. I want to build his confidence not have it torn down by kids teasing him because he doesn't know how to play yet. We have tried the fire department because he has a friend there already but they said they were too busy I am signing him up for soccer but concerned he needs more practice than he can get with the league. When I was a kid my father didn't knwo girls needed help with sports and he didn't help me. The result was that my skill level was very very far behind my peers and they didn't want to play with me. I don't want that to happen to him...but I was never in a league so I don't know much about how much support he would get there.

The best thing for a 10 year old boy would be a YMCA type organization. They have Little League, Pop Warner Football, Soccer, Swimming, Basketball... The YMCA was were I got started growing up. You have father's who volunteer their time and really work well with the kids. It was a wonderful start for me until I got to the high school level, where the coaching knowledge increases a lot. I coach high school football and track. If you have any questions let me know

Good luck. Sports are a wonderful part of a young man learning teamwork and friendship... I wish your family the best and admire you for letting you son try something new.
ADDITIONAL INFO
At age 10 not a ton of kids have a lot of background. The YMCA program makes sure all kids get some playing time in games so they can learn and be a part of the team. I was always a very good athlete when I was younger, and one of the top in my league. But I didn't start until I was 9. By 13 I was one of the best. It will take some learning, but it will some of the best memories for your kid and for his future for working with others and learning to be a part of sometihing

Not that I've meet that many male riders, but the ones I have met have been bullied out of dressage by their non-riding dad's. Frankly, I think if people really wanted to encourage more male english riders, they would change the dress code... skin tight breeches and thigh high boots aren't exactly a statement of your heterosexuality as a man. I like the western dressage competitions they are promoting. Who cares what tack or clothes you wear, it's about the training and the riding. Also wanted to say, I see the same question in reverse for programmers. And usually if there's an extreme imbalance of male/female genders I tend to assume there is some sort of hostility that pushes one gender away from that pursuit.

Well, personally he would benefit allot more by playing sports with other kids. He would increase his people skills allot more, also make plenty of friends. Hopefully that would care on through the rest of his schooling days. However if your prefer one on one training you might want to speak to a local school coach or maybe I done this talk to a fire department see if the guys there would be willing to help him. Did that when i was a kid, everyday after school I'd walk over to the fire department and the guys would play football with me until my mom picked me up; at least there you rest assure he would be safe. Seriously though I would recommend getting him into sports with other kids in would do so much for him.

Your son would go much farther by starting sports in a team atmosphere.Whether it's little league or schoiol oriented,the team environment will teach him much more about sports and life in general.

Contact "Big Brothers".
Maybe the local AARP.
Gosh, when I was a kid, we just played sports with other kids. Are there no Little Leagues?
Am I so old that this is gone too?

Register him to play in soccer teams that plays in leagues with other same age groups and can provide proper training and give him match-time.
