As parents it’s important to encourage kids to move out of their comfort zones and try-out for numerous school sports teams until they find something that is a good fit for them. If they enjoy dance maybe they could try gymnastics, if they enjoy ball sports they could evolve from football to rugby or tennis. Sometimes it takes kids a while to find a sport that’s a good fit for them and after school activities or trying-out for different sports teams can be a great way of experiencing something new.
