At nine I had my son wrapped up in lacrosse. We tried every sport from age five to age eight but he really fell in love with lacrosse. He is now sixteen and playing in elite leagues. At age nine he was also taking piano lessons and guitar lessons. He had tried tae kwando when he was younger. We live in Colorado so we took him to the mountains a lot. He also loved skiing at age nine. On vacations he tried surfing and loved it. Horse back riding was tried. We tried to expose him to everything possible. He is pretty well rounded but everything has boiled down to grades, lacrosse, skiing and surfing whenever he gets near the ocean. I took him hunting in January and now he can scratch that off of his bucket list.
