[quote=Anonymous][quote]she's bottom 1% for height, so she was understandably frustrated[/quote]

I am one of the PPs with a competitive figure skater.  I tried so hard to get her into team sports.  She begged for skating lessons for a year before I signed her up (she was 7, which is late to start in the figure skating world).  She loves it and is actually pretty talented despite not being good at team sports.

My daughter is in the bottom 5% for height.  Figure skating loves tiny girls.  My daughter's skating friends look 2-3 years younger than their actual age.  It does not have to be intensely competitive - plenty of girls skate 2 to 3 times a week and compete recreationally or not at all.  If you are looking for something team oriented, there is synchro and Theater on Ice.  It is not Olympics or nothing.

It sounds like you are/your daughter is more interested in horseback riding, but if you have any questions about local rinks or how to get started with skating, please feel free to ask.[/quote]
