For some kids, the pressure of competitive sports is just too much, and they don't really enjoy it. When there are yelling parents, harsh coaches, and the pressure to win, it may just be too much. Kids with anxiety can even become stressed out when it's their turn to play. Other kids may struggle to play well on a team, or maybe they have a hard time cooperating and sharing as they play.

Of course, not all youth competitive sports end up being very serious or putting a ton of pressure on kids, but usually winning is part of the goal. It's competitive as it's designed to be. Some kids work better alone or would prefer to not have their win depending on how other people play. Being competitive also doesn't come naturally to everyone, and some kids have the personality type where they truly won't care if they do well or not.

Non-competitive, more individual sports do exist and there is one out there that may be right for your child. As moms, we may lean towards wanting our kids to be active, and we should be willing to find a sport for them that they will love and enjoy. Team sports with coaches is just one direction to go. Here are 10 more individualized, non-competitive sports for your child under the of 10 years old.

10 Karate

In karate, kids will work towards achieving personal goals and working on their self-confidence. Karate works in teaching kids how to defend themselves as opposed to being the aggressor. This sport is all about offense and it's one where the achievement can be extremely rewarding.

9 Skating

Skating is an incredible workout and whether it's done on dry land or ice, it's a really fun sport. In order to skate, your child doesn't need to play on the hockey team or participate in an ice-skating competition. They can simply take classes to improve their own skills and work at their own pace. And if down the road they want to enter a competition or join a team, they can.

8 Swimming

Swimmers must have high endurance and strong muscles throughout their bodies. If you have a child who has a lot of energy and loves the water, swimming should be a serious consideration. Swimming can be a team sport if your kid decides to join a swim team and attend competitions. Or they can swim individually and be responsible for how they do on their own.

7 Horseback Riding

Kids who love animals but don't love regular team sports could thrive at a local equestrian center. All Pony explains that riding horses involves a combination of dance and gymnastics with a number of riding sports that kids can work to achieve. This is a more expensive activity but if your non-competitive child is caring for this horse and riding well, it's worth asking if a center near you has scholarships or will exchange care of horses or stables for lessons.

6 Yoga

Yoga can be considered a sport based on the pure athletic ability and strength it takes to perform well. In order to excel in it, it takes lots of practice and a significant amount of muscle to pull off advanced moves. It's a great stretching workout, and it's also a huge stress relief. Yoga is perfect for kids who may feel anxious performing in front of a crowd and prefer to do activities alone.

5 Gymnastics

If your child isn't into running around a field with a bunch of other kids in order to win, gymnastics can be a great alternative. Gymnastics is certainly known for being a very competitive sport, but that's only if you choose to go that route. Participants meet and set their own goals, and progress at their own rate. Going competitive is a choice and not all gymnasts have to go to competitions.

4 Track & Field/Running

This sport will keep non-competitive kids up and moving, and also outside. Track and field is composed of many events and different lengths of races for athletes to choose from. It may be difficult to find some youth track and field groups, but accredited clubs can be found at USA Track and Field or there may be options at your local rec center.

3 Dance

Dance is an incredible sport in which the athletes must have a ton of stamina and discipline to perfect the complicated moves. Dancers are very strong, and youth dance is all about building their confidence and achieving personal goals. Kids can pick from ballet, jazz, or modern dance. All genres will help kids with balance and coordination.

2 Golf

Golf is a sport to consider if your child does like the outdoors but doesn't want to do a sport where they're constantly running. Golf takes more athletic skill and practice than many think. It's also a sport of patience that requires a lot of practice. It's great for a kid that wants to play for themselves.

1 Cycling

Bicycling clubs can be found all over, and bikes are a great way to travel. Youth cycling clubs could be the answer for your non-competitive child. Riders meet up and just ride bikes together. It's way more low-key than many sports and a lot of fun.
