Finding the best sports for my kids

Below are few tips to help your kids choose the best sports for them:

  1. Work with them to find a sport they like to find their passion
  2. Always be open-minded (not everyone should like basketball, not restricted to school activities only, if your kid is a girl and likes football it is okay)
  3. Always be patient even if it took a lot of time for your kid to choose and stick to one activity (several tries are usually needed)
  4. Choose among age-appropriate activities
  5. Coordinate with the coach to make sure that your kid chose a sport that matches his skills, size, and physical and emotional maturity

Choosing the activity, they like is a very important turning point because this is the first step towards developing the activity that might last for a lifetime.
