Do your kids go to school? Do they do phys-ed? We do! We have joined in with another local homeschool group for gymnastics. Zoe and Austyn love it! Zoe was too advanced for the younger level so they moved her up to the higher level with Austyn.
We started Power Skating and Hockey with one of the local groups. It's extra ice time for Austyn and Zoe loved it so much that she decided that she wants to do hockey now.
She really didn't know what to do and skated around everywhere, but it was cute and she had fun.
We plan on doing some swimming soon. There is an indoor pool near us and they have a good deal of public swim time during school hours.

Some days I feel a little bad because I feel like my kids have an advantage over other kids because my children can choose an activity and do extra classes of it during the day to get good really fast or they can choose many activities and do some at night and others in the day. I see that other children are restricted to only night time and that limits their time on these types of things. But then I think about the fact that kids in school do phys-ed and my kids don't, other than running around outside and whatever they do on their own. So, for us, this is our phys-ed class. And yes, in some ways my kids do have an advantage. They could choose to dedicate more of their time on a subject or activity that they are interested in. They have a bit more freedom. It's wonderful!

The freedom is definitely wonderful! It's great to be able to pick and choose, and follow one's interests, especially when it comes to physical activity. Plus, if they stick with it, they're learning a sports skill that will stay with them. I wish I'd had that opportunity as a child, and I feel good that I can give it to my son.
