I don't, personally, see the big deal if a child doesn't want to play sports. When I was at school, we disn't have extra-curricular activities - we did PE in school (netball, tennis, field hockey, track etc) - I participated, but didn't really enjoy it. Out of school, I was plenty active, playing outside, riding my bike etc etc. I survived smile My ds6 plays soccer - he loves soccer (we're a big soccer family - I'm originally from England, so it must be in our blood smile If he didn't love the game so much, we would probably try different things, but if he didn't enjoy them, I don't see the point if making him miserable. Some kids just aren't sporty.
