[quote=Anonymous]This sounds really normal to me. None of my kids had any confidence at sports at that age. They are all tweens/young teens now and 2 of the 3 are very athletic/confident on sports teams. The third isn’t really into sports but it is more of a preference thing. Just to assure you that age 6 is not predictive of anything either way.

It is fine not to play any team or organized sports at age 6. FWIW 2 of mine learned so much, and built so much confidence from, a martial arts class at that age. It was a wonderful and low pressure sport/exercise for them, and focused a lot on confidence and basic body movements/coordination. All types of kids in the classes. Something like a beginner gymnastics or tumbling class may be similar. Mine also loved just playing with DH or me at that age, and we worked on moving and building confidence that way.

Sports at age 6 mean very little. Our goal was expose them to many different sports (only one required was swimming instruction)
