Suitable Sports For Indian Kids In Usa

HI all,

I have enrolled both my sons in Baseball which happens to be a spring sport in our area. But I am surprised that there are no other indian kids playing this sport.
They had been playing basketball during the winter. Seems like these sports are seasonal.

Both my sons like baseball and since they are not able to play cricket, they really like it.

Some suggest that Tennis or Swimming will be better. Both my sons have learnt swimming for 5 years when we were in California. But now they have lost the interest to swim.

Do any of you have kids enrolled in different sports activities? If yes, please share them in this thread.

What may be the best sport that they can play continuously?

Although we give main priority for studies, I feel sports should also be balanced so that they have a good outlet.

Thanks,
Jithiks

I took my daughter for Tennis classes last Summer when she was 4.She was the youngest in the group.Most of the kids were 6 .She liked it,but i think she was too little to be engaged in the sport,she had lot of fun though!!!.There were many Indian kids in the next group. Now i take her to swimming classes every Monday for just an hour,she absolutely loves it and she looks forward to going to that class.
I think irrespective of what sport or activity it is, if our kids love something,they will try to do their best and enjoy it too.

That's very true. Thanks for comments! Since both my sons love baseball now, they enjoy playing it.

Dear Krithika,

Sports is one of the healthies one in our life which I missed to do ... In my kids school they have swimming everyweek so there is no need to take them for special class... Also, they take them to Forest every week for a long walk ... My son likes Foot ball and plays well too ... After he enters his first Class we will make him to join in Foot ball team ... My daughty she is 6 and likes swimming alot. Yet to make her join in any sports soon ... Regards, Suni ...

Dear Sunitha,

It is wonderful that your have kids are engaged in different sports activities in the form of swimming and long walks.

Over here, my children so have physical activity/gym classes in their schools in the form of exercises,drills and games.

Other than that, they go for basketball during winter and baseball during spring. They are different teams/according to age groups.

Both had learnt Swimming for many years when we were in California..but now they have lost interest in that. Probably, I need to take them to our community pool during their summer holidays.

Of course, they do a lot of bike riding in our neighborhood and play basketball in the nearby parks.

Cheers
Krithika
