What are good activities for kids who aren't interested in team sports?

Question

Amanda Banta · Answer

My 6 year old loves his running program and I see a fair number of kids who don't love team sports there. They do individual activities, like quick sprints and longer jogs, and the coaches have them work together and build team spirit in other ways.

Yoga has been really fun for my kids. I feel that it's good for their physical and emotional health, and it's nice that they can do it together even though they're three years apart. It also doesn't require any commitment beyond the weekly class and can easily be worked into our schedule - no games, recitals, etc!

Track, swimming, gymnastics are all good individual sports for kids.

I am a huge fan of martial arts. I love that they provide great physical exercise, but also promote and support important life skills like discipline, confidence, and respect for self and others.

Ninja Warrior/ Boot Camp/ Kick Boxing/ Cardio Classes.

Unique kids schedules are often found at specialized, local adult gyms now.

Shila · Answer

Tumbling.

Hardly (if at all) competitive unless you want it to be. It can also be about age-appropriate and coach-assisted cartwheels, strengthening, flips and fun.
