You really can't beat kids' sports.

When it comes to extracurricular activities, you really can't beat kids' sports. Joining a sports team, or competing individually, helps your child stay active, practice and learn sportsmanship, improve social skills and concentration, and develop a hobby he can enjoy for life.

But not all sports are created equal. To match your child with the right one, consider her size, age, skills, abilities, and above all, her interests.

If she has her heart set on ice hockey, she won't be happy with even the most enthusiastic and talented volleyball coach.

These sports profiles will help you learn more about particular sports: When kids can start, what skills they will need, how much exercise they will really get, what kinds of injury risks they will face, what kind of equipment they will need, and (critical for parents to prepare for) what to expect in terms of costs and time commitment.
