Thread Starter 
I've noticed that some of you have mention your kids (who are my kids' ages or younger) playing on sports teams. How old do your kids have to be to join teams where you live?

Ages here:

soccer = 5 years old and enrolled in kindergarten
football = 8 years old
basketball = third grade
volleyball = seventh grade
t-ball = 7 years old by June 1
softball= enrolled in first grade
no hockey here

The Y always has programs that allows kids as young as 3 and 4 to get started. As for official leagues, I'm only certain of football and it is 5 years (flag football) and 7 years for contact football.

I think ours our pretty much the same as Dawns.

Our community center has activities for kids of all ages- ages 2- up. Different swim classes, sports activites etc.

Ryan took gymnastics this past year, it was ages 3-5 - however was more of a tumbling class than gymnastics...

Our hockey isnt part of the school system - he started last year when he was 3 years old -it was a Learn to Skate Hockey program for the younger kids -but that was part of the northeast division.

Ryans soccer he took this summer was a soccer camp, started at age 4. It was a 1 week camp. His real soccer for the town in September he will still be 4 years old - but since he will be in kindergarten he can play.

I have no idea. Alyssa & Kate just dance which starts at 2.

T-ball starts at 5 I think. I always miss the sign up stuff. I'll have to pay attention cause Next year Lys will want to play.

I think most everything here is age 5 unless they are private lessons. I know the Y doesn't really teach swimming to children under five here.
