Lifelong sports for kids
Lifelong sports are not often found in our schools. One of the reasons may be costs, but another reason is that the schools just do not have the facility or personnel to teach a lot of the lifelong sports. While many schools have swimming and tennis, few have facilities for some of the other lifelong sports, even if they have teams.
When I speak of lifelong sports, there are only a handful. They are golf, tennis, squash (or racquetball), swimming, horseback riding and cycling. There is a good chance that you will be able to participate in these sports throughout your life.
Lifelong sports help our children to learn how to be fit. When they enter adulthood already knowing how to have fun while keeping fit, they have a huge advantage over people who do not have that skill. Look at how many kids go to college and pack on the pounds.
So, if your child has tried all the team sports and still feels like a square peg in a round hole, let them try one of the sports that they can use forever. Who knows, maybe they find their niche and save you all that college money by getting a scholarship in one of these sports! At the very least, you may get a big thank you from them someday when you are out with them on the golf course.
