My Child Not Athletic, Will They Feel Left Out?
For kids who are not natural athletes – team sports can be devastating on self-esteem. These kids often feel like they are ‘letting the team down’ because they can’t keep up as well.

What’s important is that your child is having fun, challenging themselves, making friends, and growing stronger inside and out.
The coordination, strength, and speed comes with time – even in kids who are not ‘natural athletes’!
