[quote=Anonymous]13yo DD is not all that naturally athletic and has never really been into sports. Has tried various ones in the past, including tennis, cross country, squash, gymnastics, swimming, ice skating... I may be forgetting a couple. Currently plays field hockey but doesn't love it. Also does some rock climbing and wishes she liked it more but keeps at it. All of her friends have at least one sport they are serious about, and she also values fitness and I think just wants to be active in some kind of structured way, but hasn't found her place. Of course many sports are no longer options to start at this age because the kids are so advanced, but I am curious if there are any we might be missing that could be worth a try and that are often initiated more in the teen years, or aren't as competitive.

Any suggestions welcome. I get where she's coming from and want to try to support her, and I think she feels somewhat discouraged that she just can't find an activity she enjoys. [/quote]
