Kids fitness

How many of you enroll your children in sports regardless to if they want to do it or not? My biggest fear is the growing rates of child obesity. I am guilty she is in dance, gymnastics, and next year will be enrolled in cheerleading. Once she is old enough to tell me the sport of her choice I will let her do what ever she wants.

My daughter was in dance for two years. She no longer wanted to take the tap/ballet class but she wanted to play soccer. So she is playing soccer. I will continue letting her play soccer until she grows tired of it. My son will be allowed to pick what he wants to do as well.

Sounds like quite a program! We didn't get our kid into all that much organized sports until he was in high school and then he got into track and weightlifting by his own choice, and won several championships in weightlifting.

Don't forget to leave some time for kids to be kids. Soccer is my favorite sport, I played for two teams as a kid.

I raced BMX bikes but I dont want to get her into that, that would have to be something she wants on her own.
