Not all kids want to play soccer or be the star quarterback. Which sport is right for your child? Ask yourself these questions:
* What is my child interested in? Does she want to stick with one sport or participate in several seasonal ones?
* What can I afford in time, money, and commitment?
* What is the coach's philosophy? Do we share the same values and beliefs about sports? Does this coach enjoy working with athletes at my child's level?
* Do all the kids in the program appear to be having fun? Are they all involved?
* Am I comfortable with the other parents whose children participate?
* Are the equipment and location safe? What are the procedures should my child be injured?
