My non-athletic 9 year old DD just started fencing and loves it. The only other sporty thing she likes is hiking.

I've been looking for a class like this. Where does your son take classes?
Not that PP (one of the others with a son in agility classes though). We go to Dynamite Agility center in Rockville. There are also Parkour gyms around which will be similar but maybe with less trampoline time.
Good idea. I'm going to search for parkour gyms in the area.

I believe they work primarily with children who have intellectual and/or emotional challenges.
That would be incorrect. "SPORTS PLUS programs are designed for children whose capabilities fit between existing mainstream sports programs and adaptive sports programs."
They are an inclusive program and can accommodate kids who have ASD, ADHD or other disability.
whoa now, calm down. ASD, ADHD are in the intellectual and emotional challenges categories. I know because my DS has ADHD with some LDs and has participated in Sports Plus programs. The vast majority of the kids I've seen in the programs were obviously (at least to me) not neuro-typcial. I am sure children without challenges are welcome to participate but I'm not sure this is what OP is talking about with her non-athltic DS. Or maybe she is.....
Not being NT isn't the same thing as being intellectually and/or emotionally challenged.

tae kwon do (or other martial arts), fencing (although less of a workout IMO), and swimming are good possibilities
