[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gymnastics, yoga, or dance could all help her get a better sense of her body now even if she only does it for 6-12 months. Would registering with a friend encourage her to try different activities like tennis lessons or t-ball? Or especially at that age, the personality of the coach or instructor can make or break a kid's enjoyment and improvement in skills, so signing up for a short session or just a few lessons to try something out is good, because you may be able to see that she and the coach don't click, and you can switch her out before she thinks she hates that activity.

I think you know you shouldn't make body measurements or level of coordination at six years old determine what sport you invest in (emotionally and financially) now. Don't discount the value of weekend excursions to go bowling (with bumpers), ice skating, play mini golf, or go on bike rides. Watching others -- runners on a trail you bike on, kids at a skate park, high school athletes on the field in your neighborhood, may give her ideas and she might even ask you if she can try something she sees.

Op here - I appreciate this sage wisdom.  We are new to NOVA, and, frankly, the lacrosse and soccer forums here have me stressing.  She loves to dance, and I really should just let her embrace what she wants to do as well.[/quote]

Lacrosse is a great team sport for girls. Do not let these forums change your opinion. Only a fraction of a percent post here the rest are normal and supportive. [/quote]
