MS sport

What sports low muscle tone kid should avoid to try because no way they can be good at it no matter how hard they try? The kid is in 4th grader now, and he also has adhd. Thank you. I hear of other forums and I see that no way that he can make it pass to any tryouts in MS. I plan to see if there is a chance that he can join a MS sport. He is not interested in track or cross county which i hear of no tryouts.

Or choose a sport that has more casual playing options through MS or HS. You kid might not make the school soccer team but he could probably play rec soccer through HS relatively inexpensively.

Low muscle tone isn’t going to be a good combo with hockey.

I think avoid these was the question

Are you the same person who has posted this question repeatedly?

And if not, how serious is the low tone? Because low tone can be very mild.

Why is the child low muscle tone?

4th grade is quite young, you seem to be giving up on them developing muscle so I would guess it is medical in nature which I then hope means you're being directed to this route by a doctor.

Which makes me question the advice. Why wouldn't you try and develop muscle now?

Gymnastics is terrific for this, as well as overall proprioception. Ditto any martial art.

Preschool gymnastics classes were seriously better PT for my mild low tone kids than actual PT.

Focus on sports he will enjoy, instead of worrying about him being good. He can play on a rec team for many sports that he may not be competitive with. Soccer or basketball for example. Maybe just find something he likes to do and then search for the right level of competition to fit that.

Swimming? Golf? Sailing? Cycling? Think outside of the usual boxes. Or just look for entry level rec classes where talent wont matter as much.

We avoided hockey and tennis for our child due to the lack of diversity we encountered in these sports.

Have him do rec sports if he enjoys sports, whichever one or two he is interested in. He doesn’t need to do any school sports if he doesn’t want to.
Also, let him be a 4th grader, stop worrying about MS
