I think we've missed the dance, cheer, gymnastics route by 11 yo.  She's also not really into those activities, as she's pretty competitive.  [/quote]

Those activities are pretty competitive. As it is your daughter seems to be a dabbler so her interest in competition isn’t really relevant anyway.[/quote]
Being a dabbler in elementary school doesn't mean she can't focus now.  She's in great shape and has no qualms about taking on larger opponents, giving her a great base to build skills.  It's not time to throw in the towel at the beginning of 6th grade.

She has no interest in cheer, dance, gymnastics, so those really are off the list.  I don't think she has the flexibility for dive without a ton of work.  I think soccer and basketball are also too competitive in this area for a kid without significant skills already, so looking at other options that start later.

Cox may be a great option as she's very strategic and a multitasker, but it doesn't really scratch the itch to be athletic herself.  She'll definitely try xc and track.  She'll likely keep swimming, as a great base and lifelong exercise option, but with an understanding that it will be hard for her to be very competitive.  [/quote]
