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

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

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.
