Jack has jsut finished his first season of Auskick and will play again next year ... he wants to play football when he grows up and he might just be able to ... it is predicted he will be about 6'6" so we will see
Emma does Karate and previous to that she did JuJitsu. She is also doing dancing at the moment once a week. She is not very sporty and prefers to read but I make sure she does something to get exercise! She is also just growing into her feet so maybe more team sports will follow.
Tee Ball season has jsut started again and this is the second season for them both. Jack is in the U8's and Em is in the U11's. They both love it and I love it too ... I am team manager for Jack's team and am usually 1st or 3rd base coach for Emma's team.
Asha currently does swimming but when she is old enough she will play tee ball as well. I am thinking about stopping swimming after the summer and taking her to kindy gym or something like that. When she gets a bit older I might take her to ballet or dancing classes. I guess it is too early to tell with her.
I will not make my kids do something they don't want to do as that defeats the purpose of sport. It should always be fun but I think that there are some parents out there who forget that and force their kids to play sports they don't want to. I always used to joke that my kids would play tennis or golf so they could fund my retirement but if there is no interest it is a futile exercise!
