I started playing sports when I was 5 and I think it is fine. I think you have to be careful though because with really little kids they get mad when their team loses and aren’t always good sports. if you are going to sign them up for sports, make sure you teach them good sportsmanship ahead of time and prepare them by telling them they won’t always win but they are are winners in mommy and daddy’s eyes. Also, ask them if they want to play t-ball or soccer or flag football don’t just sign them up for something. Kids like it when you ask them what they would like to do. Maybe if your husband thinks they are too young for team sports, you could try signing them up for a karate class or something that isn’t really competitive (at least karate isn’t when you first start, you have to learn it first). If you just know they want to get out of the house but your husband doesn’t want them in sports at all then you could sign them up for an art class or educational class that is outside of the house but has none of the pressure of team or individual sports.
