I'll be the grinch here, but you have to ask yourself, is this something your boy wants to do. Who got him to sign up? Youth sports can be as much about the parent as the kid, so you have to be aware of what your motivations are. Having said that, 7 is not too young to be exposed to team sports and lots of kids have a great time playing them. If your son is naturally quiet and less exuberant, than I echo Jerzy's thoughts: give him time.
