Seeking ideas: Alternative sports for kids
Hey all,
I have two boys (9&11) and I'm looking for "sport/activities" ideas for them. Our town has the traditional sports (soccer, baseball, basketball) through clubs, but I'm looking for additional ideas, ideas that one would not normally think of (think along the lines of fencing, swimming, etc...).
The goal is to be another avenue for making friends, having fun, maybe a little friendly competition, physical fitness, etc...
We live south-east of Hartford, Connecticut. Would love your ideas!
My kids got really into parkour and slacklining, but the surprise hit was a trampoline in the backyard. Ours came from trampoline and it’s been great for burning energy and trying fun tricks without needing a team or schedule. It pairs nicely with stuff like balance boards or beginner martial arts, and it keeps them moving even on days they’re not in the mood for structured sports.
