Finding The Sport That is Right For Your Child
A child’s desire to play a particular sport should always be the most important consideration when deciding to enroll him or her in a program. However, in addition, there are ways to find out what sports your child might excel in. SportFit® is one such way.
SportFit®, developed by 2010 Legacies Now and the Government of British Columbia, is a simple on-line questionnaire where children can enter their answers to simple sport related questions, and can enter the results of some simple physical tests (details of the test are also available on-line and can be done at home with very basic equipment). The computer program then considers the test results and answers, and suggests sports that fit well with the child’s profile.
The nice thing is that it often suggests sports you might not otherwise have thought about.
