Looking for a local sport that would be good for my 7 year old son. Any suggestions?

Debra , you are a wealth of info! :) Brittnie Lee , Are you looking at strictly sports or just being active? Here are some non-standard ideas for sports/activities ... * Gymnastics (Coach Ray at Sky Valley Academy is fantastic with the boys!) * Parkour (again, Coach Ray) (parkour is like free-running ... throwing yourself over and around obstacles efficiently and safely. YouTube has lots of videos. Think: American Ninja Warrior) * Dance -- boys seem to especially like tap and hip-hop. My son tap danced for several years. My only caution here is to know what environment you are comfortable with -- dance moves and lyrics can be ... controversial. I recommend Selena Harris 206-883-3958. What I like about these activities is that they can be as individual or group as the child is comfortable with. They can be competitive or not -- as much as you'd like. They are not seasonal. They can be easily practiced at home without a lot of special equipment. Track is another good one. Individual, but also part of a team -- relays, etc. But I think track season is in full swing.
We are looking to get our son into dance classes soon, he is 2 in March.
We don't want him in any old dance class, we want something that is fun but also is competition focused. Any suggestions? Does not have to be in Monroe.
Thanks!!

Selena Harris is great! (206) 883-3958 She teaches in Sultan and is now also at the YMCA in Monroe.
Does anyone know of any cheerleader or dance classes for my 8 year old daughter she has started asking to go to one, but not sure where to find one, and trying not to spend a fortune on it.
