Hi
our 10 year old girl doesn’t have a favourite interest. She has tried dance and musical theatre classes and is learning guitar at school. She isn’t keen on joining a rugby/football team etc. I think she would like a trampoline class but can’t find one locally. What do your kids do? Looking for ideas I might not have thought of to look into.
Thanks

Cubs.
Then she gets to 'have a go at' 101 different activities.
Very, very affordable too.

Cadets - sea cadets especially do lots of different activities. Can join for age 10. Lots of units in most major towns. Highly recommended.

Had she tried Karate (or any of the other Martial arts). When ds went they were very flexible and you could train as often or little as you liked with no pressure to compete. A good club will have a great club atmosphere and be inclusive of all abilities.

My DD liked climbing at that age. The local climbing centre ran a very friendly group for the tween age and she loved it.

DS2 liked swimming at that age. Mine never liked it, but I have friends’ children who loved the Woodcraft Folk.

Girl guides
Tennis - most good clubs will have girl only groups for that age if she would prefer that
