Sports? Did you ask sports??? YES!!! My youngest has been playing baseball since he was 7 years old and has played tournament/select baseball since he was 8 (this past year, as 13 year olds, they went to the world series in Panama City). As a 7th grader last year, he earned a starting spot on the JV team at the school he attended (only 1 of 2 7th graders to make the team - rest were 9th and 10th graders). He plays football ONLY because there's no baseball!! My oldest one played baseball for 2 years and football for 2 years and realized he had more fun watching than playing (he's my ADD/Dyslexic child). He was manager of the football team for 3 years before quitting cause the coach he absolutely admired and respected died suddenly so his heart was no longer in it. He enjoys playing golf immensely - it's a non-contact sport and he can play at his own pace which is very important to him. We watch college football, follow the college division, regional, and world series baseball games, watch pro football, and pro baseball. I don't care for basketball or golf at all but do enjoy watching a good hockey game So yes, we LOVE sports at our house And I played softball up until 8 years ago when I tore the muscle in my leg and had to stop for a year - just never went back!
