What sports do your kids play?

[Anonymous]

Did they choose to play or did you volunteer them? I want mine to play a variety from a young age and then focus on which they are best at.

Oldest: Football, judo, jiujitsu. Also did dance and gymnastics until June this year but doesn’t want to continue those in the fall. Wants to start basketball instead.

Middle: Football, jiujitsu and dance.

Youngest: Nothing yet but will start ”learn to skate”, dance and jiujitsu this fall.

I’ve picked most of the activities, but I let them try for a couple of times and then decide if they want to do them. And before each term I ask again if they want to continue or not. The oldest and middle both asked to do dance, I didn’t suggest it, so they picked that on their own.

Thank you! Finally someone who read the question properly and answered it thoroughly and thoughtfully!

My son is playing baseball for a couple of weeks. It's a just-for-fun kind of thing that one of my friends set up.

I don’t have kids, but I grew up playing tons of sports myself 🏃‍♀️🎾

Starting with variety is smart. I did tennis, swimming, soccer, track and a bit of gymnastics. My parents exposed me, but never forced me, which kept it fun and let my natural passion for tennis take over.

Let them sample several, watch what they enjoy and where they naturally compete, then gradually narrow it down. That way they build coordination, confidence and avoid burnout 😊
