[quote=Anonymous]Individual sports are quite expensive. Figure skating, tennis, fencing, high level gymnastics are all very very very expensive. Team sports less so but if you're on travel teams can get there. Hockey will break you.

We only have one kid so it's a little easier for us. When she was younger we put her in things we thought we'd like or she would like. She is a pretty vocal kid so she let us know if she like it our not. We had one rule if we had paid for the class she had to finish the class to the end. If it was something open ended we had her do 3 months. We wanted her to learn perseverance and not quitting just because things were hard.

As she's gotten older (8) she now asks to try things. She hasn't picked anything yet. We've tried ballet, figure skating, gymnastics, hockey, soccer, track, cross country, swimming and I'm sure I'm forgetting something. We are currently trying Krav Maga and Fencing.We've learned a lot about her as a person through all this and mostly it's that she's not a sport girl. But she does love her musical instrument. She's been playing for 4 years.[/quote]
