Timing, balance, concentration, the best sport for kids to get into even if it's just in the park with a cut down 7 iron from your old bag.

I think the key is to make sport fun, try them all and don’t push them. Kids will find their own way and importantly a passion for a particular sport. Then sit back and enjoy the ride. I really miss watching my lads cricket and footy. I plan trips back to SA around his games!

The only reason I am thinking soccer is because it seems to be something a very young kid can still have fun doing. probably the reason why they have soccer for 2-3 year olds but not footy, the skills are a bit simpler at that age.
so no real preference - somewhere a shortish distance from gawler on a sunday morning would be ideal, saturdays doable too. I have seen grasshopper soccer and ready set go but there could be many others I am not aware of.
The sports I have played are Aussie Rules, Cricket and Tennis but open to any suggestions - just want to share my love of sport with my lad - he already screams out cricket, soccer, darts, tennis etc when it comes on TV, and we kick the soccer ball and play with a basketball ring quite often too.
