Did he want to play? Or did you want him to play? He might have other interests. It is good for a kid to get exercise and athletics is a great way to accomplish that. But it is possible that he would prefer other activities like swimming or skiing or hiking. I wouldn't worry about an 8 year old not being competitive in basketball. Kids who get pushed at an early age sometimes do not turn out so well because they build up resentment.
