We shouldn't force them to do anything! Although I've found that a lot of boys naturally gravitate toward sports even when their parents have no interest, no kid is going to enjoy doing anything ultimately unless their motivation comes from within. All we can do is give them exposure to different things and hope they find something that interests them.
