DON'T LABEL TOO EARLY

Tip: Spotting the stars

Kids are still developing and growing physically well into their teens. Since a child's athletic potential cannot be predicted at a young age, don't be too hasty to label your child as either a star athlete or a poor athlete. Instead, allow your child to play, and observe as he or she matures over time. Smaller or slower children might surpass their teammates down the road, but their potential will never be realized if they are discouraged early on.

Thank you to the Grow the Game Initiative for this tip.
