I'll try not to go on... DS hates all ball games, especially football. he won't even kickabout in park. DH was not particularly sporty guy at school, but got by, I think. DS is going to secondary school soon. Will have to play cricket, football, rugby. I know it is a massive social handicap for boys not to be at least a bit ok at these things. I used to think, oh well, we are all different, if he doesn't like it that's who he is. But thinking about it, I hated not being good at sports at school, and after I left I discovered I was not really completely useless at everything, just needed more time, encouragement, etc. So any tips on how to help him progress somewhat from his present total lack of ball game skills so he can get extra fun and pride out of school days? Other than making him go to a football club that will just be like school PE but worse!
