Competitive sports aren't for everyone, and that's okay! Lots of kids would much rather take part in something that's non-competitive, with the main focus on enjoying themselves. It can be really stressful for some children to have to take part in competitive sports. There is so much pressure to perform well and to win, that sometimes there's no joy in it for them at all.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE ABOUT WINNING
It might be the case that your little one finds it difficult to work well with a team and much prefers to take part in individual activities.
These are more often self-guided and therefore, there is less pressure on your child. They get to decide what their goals are and if they want to push themselves or just have some fun.
We all know that our children benefit from daily exercise and getting involved in sport is a great way to make sure that this happens. With non-competitive, individual sports, they'll get lots of the perks of competitive team sports with none of the stress. Also, lots of these sports can become competitive if your child wishes, leaving that door open for them too.

Here we look into the sports and activities that could be better suited to a less competitive child.
