My DD is 8. I should say--she is not inactive--we are a very outdoorsy family, and are outside in some way (hiking, swimming, boating, fishing) almost every weekend. But we have not done any organized sports of any kind. You know, the one sport she does do at home with her dad is baseball, and she's actually quite a good hitter, according to him. But it's such a "all eyes on you" kind of sport that it worries me a bit for her. And it seems to be one of those sports that brings out a really negative side in other parents. She will freak out if that happens.

I appreciate the thoughts and ideas.
