Yet again ive taken ds to an after school activity and yet agin we ended up coming home within 10 mins. What can i do about this?

Ds is 6.
A letter about soccer skills came home from school, and i asked him if he fancied it. he was quite enthused about it. We discussed it this morning, again, he was enthusiastic, but when we got there, he refused to move from the wall and join in, refused to even sit and see what they were doing.

This happened when he was smaller so i put it down to him just being too young, but now i cant think why he refuses to join in things!

Its frustrating because he loves footy at home.
he says he is shy, so i offered to go with him, and there were 3 other kids from his class there.

How do i coax him out of this?

hope it works. i know how frustrating this can be!

Do oyu know years ago Id have said" oh just take him adn leave"
but now my sons are older - tbh what is the hurry - he has his whole life to play footie.

ds3 ( also 6) does swimming and that is it

Fee, he's only been twice. Maybe after watching a couple of sessions he might take to it better. I think it would be better to pick a class and stick with that as then he'd get to recognise the children in his group.
Also, do you think it might be a bit much for him to go straight from nursery to an physical activity. Maybe he would prefer to go home and relax.
At 4yo unless he was very eager, I would leave it until he got older.
