I played softball for...umm...14 years? And volleyball for seven... so if my kids wanted to pick one or both of those up, I'd have a blast helping them practice and going to games & such.
Really, though, the only things I wouldn't want them doing are boxing and wrestling. I've seen too many guys in wrestling that either have eating disorders, or are borderline, and I really don't want my kids having to deal with that.
Oh-- and I wouldn't really want my daughters to be cheerleaders, either... but it's not something I'd forbid.
