What parents should compare
- Choose short sessions with patient coaching, simple instructions and space for children to move at their own pace.
- Basketball can work well when programs focus on movement, catching, passing and confidence rather than formal matches.
- Cricket can suit children who enjoy hitting, throwing and playful skill repetition in modified sessions.
- Soccer can suit children who like running, kicking, ball games and outdoor group play.
- For this age, location, session length, toilet access, parent involvement and the child feeling safe matter more than pathway level.
