T-Ball because it's easy
By Charlene,

I would say T-Ball.Its easy
and kids seem to catch on fast.It seems easier to
succeed on this sport
By Sarah,

Teeball! Every kid gets an opportunity to play, they are given the opportunity to hit even if they aren't the most coordinated or athletic, and there are adults to supervise and assist on the field. And the position of pitcher's helper is a big deal to kids - they learn responsibility and also what it's like to be in teh center of the action.

Golf because it shows the child how to be honest and call penalties on themselve when keeping score and respect for the other players. Plus its also a solo game so you can practice whenever you want.

By Tammy,
From Greer
I think it really depends on the child. I think the best sport to start with is one that they like & can play fairly well. For example, it they like to run & kick, then soccer would be great. If they love water, swimming would be a better choice.
By Carol,

Kick Ball: involves all aspect of team work; includes both boys and girls; not only teachs kids team work, but is great exercise.
By David,
From Eau Claire
The sport I believe is best for children is the one that intrest them the most. You have to be mentally into the sport before the sport gets into you.
By Claudine,
From Grayson
I think it is soccer. My son is 8 this is first year playing. He loves it. He is learning how to play as a team. He has to learn not to be a poor sport just because one of his other team memebers did not make a goal. He is learning to cheer for the entire team. He likes to say good job when the game is over.
By dianne,

TKD because it promotes self confidence and self defense.

Soccer is a great early game for youth as it emphasizes teamwork.
By Sarah,
From West Bloomfield
I think soccer is a great sport to introduce kids to, since it is easier for them to learn. They may not understand all the rules of the game, but they can at least catch on to kicking the ball and trying to score a goal.

Baseball is pretty classic, I think.

Soccer and baseball. One works on running skills and the other works on hand eye coordination.
By Michael,

Soccer, good conditioning and fewer injuries
By Michael,
From Seattle
DODGEBALL. Here is why: it HURTS. kids learn to run and throw and if the lesson dosen't sink in quickly they get bruised! Nothing tells the kids to get better like a wound!!
By toasters,
From USA
Basketball, Soccer, or Kickball because the only gear you have to buy is one cheap ball for the whole team, so any kid can play regardless of their parents' income. Being shut out and humiliated because you're parents can't afford gear is one surefire way to turn a kid off team sports for life.
By Kari,

I'd love to win this, we play a lot of ball with our kids, my daughter does dance and they are all involved in marial arts

I think golf is a great way to introduce kids to sports. It's a great one on one learning experience, at least it has been for son and dad in our house. What a great way for dad and son to spend a lot of quality time bonding, and learning a gentleman's game!
By Kathy,

I would say Tae Kwon Do since it teaches you confidence and is great for self esteem. It also is a great work out and a good way to learn self defense. My first name is spelled Shilo but it wouldn't go through as that.

Soccer is great sport to start off with. It teachs them to work on a team, gives them a good workout, and the rules are fairly simple starting out for little ones.
By Jack,

I think football is a good starter for young kids, especially like your nerf football giveaway, we teach catching and running and we get to hug them alot and call it tackling.
By Don,
From Independence

By Rebecca,

We like football
By Margaret,
From Randolph
We started our sons out with playing baseball. It's taught them that they need to be patient and has taught them coordination. We first started by tossing them a softball and have proceeded to them now hitting the ball with a bat.
Thanks for this giveaway.
By Andrew,
From reminderville
soccer, teaches them teamwork and the kids also get to learn the elements of teamwork.
By Matthew,
From Chicago
I think basketball is the best sport to teach to children. Not only does it promote teamwork, but it also allows a child the chance to improve himself as an individual athlete. The game is fast paced, as the team is expected to play both offense and defense. It improves hand-eye coordination, muscle strength, flexibility, cardiovascular strength, and helps stimulate the child mentally. Through the clear goal of getting the ball through the hoop, there is a defined objective that every player must work towards. My son is 9 and I introduced him to basketball five years ago. His ball-handling skills and overall awareness have improved greatly, and it has helped him with sports such as tennis and football, where hand-eye coordination and acceleration are crucial. Through experience, I can tell you that basketball was a great first sport to teach him, and I would recommend it to any other parent.
By KELLY,

I think softball because it teaches responsibilty and how to get along with others
Thanks
By Shannon,
From BLACKLICK
We started off by introducing our son to soccer at age 3. By then, he was old enough to kick the ball and understand some of the basic concepts (no hands, trapping the ball, etc.) Now, our son is 6 years old and plays soccer in spring and fall. Each season, we see him improving his skills and knowledge of the game. The nice part of starting with soccer was that it was a fairly basic concept to learn, plus it's not a contact sport so there was no real concern of personal injury by starting him at a young age.
By Tyler,
From Chesterfield Twp
For my family, its football and hockey. My 3 brothers and 2 younger sisters play both sports in our driveway, so we are all able to play at the same time.
By Linda,

football of course! America's favorite sport!
By Angel,
From Chico
I like Soccer the best. I teach my son one on one and we love it. He is only 3 but he started kicking the ball before he could even walk, just holding onto the furniture.
Now, we play a lot, I bought a little goal that once he makes the goal cheers him on. He loves it so much, and of course, it teaches him coordination, movement, it's great excersize running a lot and it is a team sport.
By Randy,
From denton
Baseball, it's great to build hand eye coordination, and a great way to start child into an environment of working together with others as a team.
By SANDY,
From USA

By Carol,
From Wayne
I'd said baseball, using a soft bat and ball, because it teaches coordination, and it's America's favorite sport!
