[quote=Anonymous]Well I'll just say what we're doing with our kids.

I really encouraged tennis because it's a lifelong sport and I personally find it really fun. My DH also plays so I thought it would be great to get the kids involved as well. They all love it.

Swimming was non negotiable until they were good swimmers. None of my kids chose to take it any farther than that.

Both of my DDs do ballet. Super fun and easy to get them involved at a young age and it just blossomed from there. I tried to choose a studio that was not insane about body type and the "right type" of ballet dancer but that also taught good technique.

I also really wanted them to be at least comfortable on ice skates. My youngest DD absolutely loved it and has been skating ever since. She's only 8 now so who knows what will happen in the future but in her biased mom's opinion, she's quite good. The other kids just like to go every once in a while or when rinks pop up during the winter.

Soccer is great too, especially because it's pretty popular and easy to get started with. My DS plays travel soccer now and it's a lot but it's also a great way to make friends and be active. [/quote]
