[quote=Anonymous]People here talk about tennis being expensive and that is probably true if you want to do it at a competitive level, but if you just want your kid to get exercise and work on hand-eye coordination - it is actually very manageable for parents and pretty affordable to take rec or YMCA classes once or twice a week. We have a kid who does baseball and he also plays tennis once a week for more exercise and because it is a good sport to know as an adult (no adult stays in shape by playing baseball).  Swimming starts out being easy on parents (practices at predictable times, you can choose which meets to sign up for) but if your kid is serious eventually it is hard to avoid morning practices, which are brutal. It is not cheap but also not crazy expensive.

Personally I hate baseball because it takes so much time, the games are super boring to watch until the kids are older, and the kids don't even get a lot of exercise. We tried to discourage one of my kids from getting into baseball but he was very stubborn so now that is his sport, I wouldn't recommend it though.[/quote]
