I started playing competitive sports when I was 8 because that was the age my school allowed us to start. I have played everything from basketball to track to flag football. And I have met so many people through sports and learned so much. I think track is a great way to start because kids love to run and think they are so fast and what better way to tire them out but really any sport is good because it teaches so much about sportsmanship about winning an about losing.

I have started my children in sports as soon as they could. My son was 5 years old when he started playing football and baseball. My daughter now 5 has been in tumbleing since the age of 3. This year will be her first year in softball.

They had the desire to do these sports and I never will pressure them into doing something they dont want to do. My experience from the sports have been nothing but positive. Through sports my children have been taught to be respectful towards others, self-confidence and not to mention good exericse.

But agian its all up to the child and when you think your child will be ready. Tiger Woods started at 2 so I guess you can never start to young.
