[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 320977, member: 439"] one of our fields is next to train track - try keeping all those 6 year olds "on" the game when a train goes by!! If he really does want to play, just continue for this year, especially if this is his first year out of lollipop. Next year, if the distractedness continues (and he still really wants to play), do some videotapping of him. He may really not realize what he's doing on the field. I know this was my older son - he didn't realize he was so antsy. He also needed a bit of maturity to realize he was NOT good forward material, but did best in the secondary. He made a wonderful guard. Also expose him to watching the game. It's hard to find soccer to watch live in some areas, so look at hockey instead - same basic principles. [/QUOTE]
