Even kids who once said they hated sports might learn to like team sports as their skills improve or they find the right sport or a league. But even if team sports never thrill your child, there's plenty a kid can do to get the recommended 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day.
Free play can be very important for kids who don't play a team sport. What's free play? It's the activity kids get when they're left to their own devices, like shooting hoops, riding bikes, playing whiffleball, playing tag, jumping rope, or dancing.
Kids might also enjoy individual sports or other organized activities that can boost fitness, such as:
* swimming
* horseback riding
* dance classes
* inline skating
* cycling
* cheerleading
* skateboarding
* hiking
* golf
* tennis
* fencing
* gymnastics
* martial arts
* yoga and other fitness classes
* Ultimate Frisbee
* running
