Winter class activities for child with no interest in sports?

[Anonymous]

For those of you with kids who aren't showing any interest in sports, what physical activities do you have them doing? My DS shows no interest in anything ranging from soccer to bike riding to basketball. It's puzzling but always been this way. Would love to find something that would click but am running out of ideas. He's in 2nd grade (young I know, interests are still forming but want him to stay busy during a cold winter). Thanks.

My DD, now 10, also hates sports. We spend time hiking on the weekends (even in winter) and she recently started fencing. A rock climbing gym can also be a winter option.

Hiking, bowling, martial arts, swimming, fencing, gymnastics.

Where are you located? My son likes those Lego robot engineering classes through parktakes.

Science or nature type activities, art, cooking, lego robotics.

Op here - thanks for the ideas. We've done the Lego robotics classes, which he did like, but I'd like to find things with more movement. He does like hiking but that will be tougher in the winter. Really like the rock climbing idea. Thanks!

My DS is similar. The ONLY thing that's stuck is an agility class (kind of like a mix of gymnastics and parkour). We will also try some indoor swimming this winter, and possibly fencing. I ran the fencing idea by him, described it as kind of like sword fighting, and he was open to that.

Art, music, theater

My son does an agility class at Dynamite Gymnastics/Agility. A lot of running around, jumping on the trampolines, and 'strength' (the highlight of my week each and every week is watching my skinny 3rd grader do sit ups and listening to him complain about how much his elbows hurt afterward. Yes, his elbows hurt after doing sit ups). He loves it.
His friend takes a theater class that he loves.
