For the last six months, L has been DYING to play football.  Seems reasonable enough.  So we signed him up for Flag Football, which starts in about a month.

Thing is, I’m getting nervous.  If the practices and games are during times when he’s on his ADHD meds, then I’m confident he’ll behave well, try hard, etc – but he may not be as fast as we know he can be.  If they’re in the evenings, then there’s a good chance that L will be uncontrolled, intimidate the other kids, and be overwhelmed by everything that’s going on.

So why enroll him?  Why not wait till next year?  Because I think this is going to be worth trying.  I’d rather try and fail, then never try.  So long as its not a completely horrible experience, that is.

So what can I do to help L succeed?
