Well, yes, a good trainer will do that assessment. Some kids should only start with body weight stuff. Pushups, yoga type moves etc. All kids can benefit from learning how to run correctly, especially deceleration and change of direction stuff
The suggestion of finding a trainer is not just about development, either, it’s just as much about injury prevention and developing confidence.
