DO you think my son's too young to play Soccer?

I think that it would be worse if he wasn't involved in some type of physical activity. It is a good bonding time for the two of you ,he is developing his motor skills and he is having a great time. It is a win, win situation!

I'd suggest talking with your child's doctor about this if possible.  He's still developing, so actually lifting weights could be dangerous.\n\nHowever, getting him into youth sports may be a good alternative if weightlifting isn't a good idea.  He can build muscle and learn teamwork at the same time.

When he was 4 years old is when he began playing soccer in the sense that it was at 4 that he first played on a team (a 5-7 team). However, he grew up with a football from when he was less than a year old so it is hard to say. Both his father, who died when he was a young boy, and his older brother (who is now his agent) played professionally.

There are lots of sports that he can play at this age, the best place to start would be at a local YMCA or rec center to see what little leagues are forming.  Make sure you find something non-competitive, where the kids are playing the sport for fun, and points aren't being counted.  There are lots of little league teams that do this, where all the kids are considered "winners" and everyone gets little ribbons or prizes at the end of a season.  4 is a little young to have to deal with competitive play.

He's definitely NOT gonna play a single match. He's broken his metatarsal! Those things take ATLEAST 2 months to heal to full fitness! He broke it in the 1st week of May. Add 2 months to that & you're at the 1st week of July. If they even get to the finals without him, it'd be silly to bring him on with hardly any real practice under his belt!\n\nNo chance is he gonna play in this WC!

Hi. You should go to the doctor and check if you can still play soccer. If the doctor say you are fine. Than go for it and have fun. Hope you have a nice day friend. Bye....

stretches and a form of arobics would be perfect for him, but dont expect him to follow a strict regiment, he's 4, he's wild, he gets all the excerize he "needs". but one thing, do not start him on weights, my son, now 14, has fractures in both legs from bench pressing 2 years ago. a childs bones are still soft and the joints are not finished developing until they are about 18, thus,"not grown till 18 or 21" if he wants "wieghts" like mommy and daddy, there are some "water weights" on the market, these are designed for children, have fun

I think you need to ask why your son is playing basketball in the first place. I really hope that "making it to the post-season" takes a backseat to learning about teamwork and having fun. If the kids are happy, then it shouldn't matter that the coach isn't teaching them the finer points of the pick and roll. That can all come later. Right now worry about them having a good time, not the mechanics of the game. Seven is still very young.\n\nChances are that you'll respond that your kid's self-esteem is suffering because his poorly coached team can't seem to win a game. In that case, I'd suggest teaching him all you can away from practice.\n\nGood luck.

I don't think that its too young, but you have to remember that his body is still growing and will respond differently to the challenges of weight lifting.  The best kind of weight-training for a child that age is stretch bands and body-weight exercises.  \nAlso, he's young...he should be getting his exercise by having fun with his friends and playing.

If your sons want to be in the UFC it can't hurt anything.  In fact it could help them build confidence and learn self-defense.  If your boys DON'T want to be in the UFC encourage them to go ONCE and see if they like it.  If they don't, oh well.  There are more important things.  If they do...great!  But kids shouldn't be pressured to do things they don't need to do.  Chores are understandable, but things like sports activities should be your child's choice.

get a new coach. Your son is probably learning how to play the game, tell the coach to lighten up and keep the FUN in the game and to not take it OUT of it

not bad if he wants to get recruited then at his football games there will be scouting people looking at how he does.. And i think he can go to a football combine they test his 40 yard dash vertical jump bench press and more... it doesn't really matter if your that strong if your son has a heart of a lion and not that fit i rather take a heart of a lion any day.

No he is not too old and he is not too old to have kids.   I'm 45 and the mother of my son( who is 2) is 23.  So no he is not too old. some may not like it but that is their problem not yours.

not yet. though they were GREAT in the youth cup, maybe they need a year or two. Just in time for the world cup too!

Well what I have my kids do is if the player is obviously the best on the oposing team.  I have my best and most conditioned player stay with that person the entire game.  I also dont mean stand 5 feet away at all times I mean close enought to pick his pokets.  It usally frustrates the player to no end.
