Unsporty 10 year old daughter

[BlueStargazer]

Hi just after some advice. My 10 year old daughter has never been sporty or particularly competitive. She's tried various sports including tennis lessons for a year which she never got to a good standard in (i.e got close in terms of ability to other kids). It put her off completely not being able to keep up. She gave that up in autumn to try netball, which she says she enjoys and the social side of it seems to be a real positive for her. She's in a team of new players so none are great at this stage, but I can already see that they are improving faster than she is and I've noticed a couple of them are getting frustrated with my daughter. She's not great at catching a ball (coordination has never been great) but that has improved slightly. I know she'll never be an amazing sportswoman, which is fine, and we can work on catching. She can be quite dopey and doesn't seem to be able to keep her concentration and focus on the game. She's been playing netball 3 months. I'm just worried that the others will keep improving at a faster rate and the gap will widen. Just looking for any similar experiences which might help me guide her.

She sounds just like my dyspraxic daughter who is 10. 5 years of dance and gymnastics lessons and she was still in with the beginners. She didn't care when she was younger, but as she got older it irked and irked her more that she was with kids so much younger than her.
My husband takes her running, it doesn't take much coordination and keeps her fit. I don't think she likes it much, she prefers more social sports, but at the moment is enjoying the dad attention and the new running shoes he got her.
Her dyspraxia referal was useless, they suggested her using a ball instead of a chair so she can get to control her body and know her own belance better but that was all.

@Saxineno yes this was my daughter too after a few years of gymnastics, all the younger children were cartwheeling and there's no way she could keep up, so she wanted to give up after initially loving it. I think having a trampoline has helped my DD's coordination and agility so could help your DD. I don't really know much about dyspraxia but my DD doesn't have any problems writing, can play a guitar etc so I think she is just lanky and a bit poorly coordinated like her dad, but that's an uneducated guess!). Good luck to your DD, maybe look at some of the great suggestions other people have made in this post for more sociable activities she may be able to do that don't require amazing coordination x
