My oldest (almost 12) is not very coordinated and not at all interested in sports, especially anything that has to do with a ball. But because he's unusually tall (5'8") people are always asking if he plays basketball. In the past year, though, he's very much taken to swimming (he does a pre-swim team at our local YMCA that doesn't require any meets) and track/cross country. My kids participated in a local track team that was super fun and supportive of ALL kids, whether they were coming in first or last. It was a really amazing experience for all of us.
