This bears repeating.
I don't know that there are any "best" sports, or activities, for kids to pursue. There is so much out there to choose from. I, personally, played baseball. I didn't excel at it. I was a mediocre, at best, center fielder. I joined the wrestling team. I didn't excel at it. But, I enjoyed both of them. I was also in the Boy Scouts. I got a lot out of that program. My own son plays baseball (better than I did), soccer (wasn't around when I was his age), and he is in the Cub Scouts, which he really enjoys. He wants to play basketball (something that I never had an interest in), and he wants to wrestle.
The best advice that I can offer is to listen to your child. He/she will tell you what activity is "best" for them.
