[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Check some of the volleyball leagues near you and see if they have beginning clinics. They often run 1x weekly sessions for new players so she could try that first. But height is important.

If she doesn't like soccer she may not like frisbee either, although I agree it's a good one to start late.

How about crew? Field hockey? Lax? Flag football?

I think girls have more leeway with starting late. And many players leave rec sports at this age so there may be more spots open.

My niece just starting playing lax her freshman year of high school and it was totally fine because they were a small team that needed more bodies.[/quote]

OP, if she’s very short and tries crew, she would likely be steered towards being a coxswain (for boys or girls). Does that sound fun for her?

Crew is full of kids who start late relative to other sports. [/quote]

Agree with PP. I was a coxswain. Athletic kids (which I was not) tend to get annoyed at coxing because it's not a workout at all. It's all mental.

I've known a few girls to start rec or JV softball in high school, as another possible option.[/quote]
