MmeZeeZee: I would urge you to have your daughter explore a wide variety of sports. She should learn to swim, to ride a bike, to play on a team, to play a solo sport (like tennis or squash or racquetball), to develop a sense of rhythm and movement (dance of some kind). All of these require skills that will enhance her life, regardless of competition.

I understand that you and your husband are worried about your daughter’s modesty; I’m sure that many Muslim girls have worked out these issues and that your daughter can, as well.
