[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Spend summer playing basketball with her.   She can learn rules later, get the skills.

And Pickleball. Super fun.  Played at lots of schools and colleges.  Contrary to the people who post only an old person sport, it takes skill but not as hard as tennis to learn. Look up 16 yr old Anna Leigh Waters.  [/quote]

This is a very bad recommendation.   Basketball is incredibly difficult and frustrating to play until you get the skills.  My HS player started in 2nd grade as did most teammates. And the rules are not straightforward (notwithstanding what 99.99% of people shouting incorrect nonsense at refs believe).[/quote]

Agree, basketball is very difficult to join late.

Cross country, maybe tennis, swim, or what about dance team or cheer?  I agree about drama club being a terrific choice also.

That’s great she’s interested and I think her instincts are right. She’s going to have to ask around at school & figure out what the easiest sport is. It does vary from school to school. [/quote]
