If it is a team sport, and you are not looking for ball sports, in a few years, maybe you can look into rowing. We have had lots of middle school kids start out around 6th grade and high school teams can be competitive. It is very different from other team sports in that the "team" aspect is synchronization and working on finer techniques of the same motion but it is definitely very much a team sport in that you tend to form bonds within the boat. We have had people who were dismal in ball sports excel in rowing - boys and girls.
ETA: what I mean by synchronization - meaning every single rower has to move in unison - no passing balls, running patterns. everyone has to be doing the same motion and paying attention to the coxswain or bow. and power is not all of it - I have won with "weaker" teammates simply because we meshed in our motions (once, we stunned our coach in college because on paper, we should have been slow but crushed the faster boat with better technique).
