I believe there is an ideal age to get your kids into sports and I feel it’s around 4 years old.  I remember signing William up for soccer when he was 3 years and it was a total crash and burn, he was just too young. I wanted him in something because I felt like everyone else was in something, but I was wrong. He didn’t understand the game. He was so little that he wanted me to stay with him during the entire game. It was a touch experience. My Henry is 4 years old now, and this is the first season we signed him up for T-Ball.  I will say this though, I got the boys in swimming lessons at 6 months old, although I don’t think that qualifies because they needed us in the water with them. But to me, I felt that was a good introductory sport.
