Sports

I'm trying to teach the kids some basic skills like kicking a soccer ball or hitting a plastic softball off a tee. Joshua (age 2) has much more interest than Rebecca (age 5). And I'm not buying the whole boy-girl thing. I've seen plenty of little girls enthusiastically take on a new athletic skill when taught to them. Joshua will spend hours hitting the ball off the tee (as long as he has ol' Dad there to constantly pick up the balls and tee them up for him). So how do I get Rebecca more interested? She's well coordinated, and I've seen her hit the ball pretty well - so I don't think lack of skills is an issue.

Any advice from other Dads on how to get kids more interested in sports related activities?
