Sign him up. If it is not tramatizing him, keep signing him up. Eventually, he will really appreciate it (college intramurals, old man's beer and softball league, etc.).

I played soccer, tennis, baseball, and basketball, mostly with little to no enthusiasm before the season started. I always enjoyed my teammates and learned lessons that still help me to this day (dealing with others, disappointment, look like you've been there before, etc.).

Also, I met my wife playing soccer in the old person league...Playing sports is good.
