11 year old : 11 year old: Sports

Question

My son is 11 and in the fifth grade. He is not very athletic, nor does he try hard. Sure he wants to be good, but not through work. He wants to magically become talented. We continue to tell him, not everyone is a natural, and he needs to work at it and practice. Every activity that he has signed up for since he was in 5, he did for one year and then he would say he didnt want to sign up again (sports, art, karate, boy scouts, etc). Basketball is the one activity that he continues, but he is really embarrassingly bad, he needs to practice, but doesnt. Do we force him to continue or just say fine do nothing?
