Default Re: Why soccer is the best sport for kids

[ QUOTE ]
About the age 8 being when the shift starts happening I disagree. There are kids that are way better and more athletic than others but they don't tend to ridicule the bad players until maybe 11-12 ish.

could be right. I didn't start playing soccer until I was 11 or 12. I know in little league and basketball, though, that we definitely started ribbing kids from an early age, but probably not too harshly until about puberty.
