It used to be that kids had a limited number of sports or activities to choose from when they were growing up. These days children and their parents can choose from a dizzying array of sports and activities in which to participate - from traditional team sports like football, basketball, baseball and soccer - to extreme sports like bouldering, BMX biking, parasailing.
