My 5 year old son is small for his age. Any ideas for sports or activites?

We have him in Soccer now, but he has a kidney disease and has a hard time keeping up with the other kids. I want to give him a hobby that will enhance his self esteem without having to necessarily compare his strength or speed with other kids. I was thinking of Karate classes. Any other ideas would be GREATLY appreciated! We live in Northern California. Thanks!
Please no rude answers insuinating that I’m not taking my son’s feelings into consideration. I’m going to talk with him about what he wants to do OF COURSE, but I’d like to be armed with ideas should he ask me what his options are. And again, I said sports OR activities – I’m not looking for just sport related ideas. Thanks again for all the great ideas already. I appreciate it! :)

Is it true that the children who learn karate will not grow taller?

my son aged about 7 years learning karate.Many people tell me that he may not grow taller because the sound they make while doing karate produces harmones which hinders his height.Is it true

What age is a good age to start my son on Karate lessons?

I love the idea of my little boy learning these skills. He is two. How can he be influenced? What should I know as a parent? How can I learn more about this art?

My son is a student at a TaeKwonDo school where there are three masters and two instructors.?

Now that the holidays are coming, I’d like to know what kind of gift is appropriate. The instructors are college students, so cash seems like a good choice for them. But two of the Masters have recently come from Korea to teach and I don’t want to embarass them or do anything not acceptable to their etiquette. The third Master is the owner of the school Are gifts appropriate?
Part of Martial Arts is learning etiquette and respect. This is a martial arts question for those who are seriously involved

I will named my son Darrius Jett and my daughter Evangeline Belle. What do you guys think?

Last name is Li. If my daughter get bullied and somebody call her “Big Belly Li or Fat Belly Li”, I will tell her to defend herself by using martial arts on the bully. Same thing goes for my son. I will teach them martial arts. I have a black belt in Kung Fu, Karate, and Judo. My goddess (wife) and I will named our son Darrius Jett and Evangeline Belle. I want your opinions on why or why not just for fun.
