Why not both? It is true that maybe 10 years it's a bit early for serious coding, but I don't see anything wrong with it, when my time came, I was like 16 and I

  It's true and but I think both things can have a negative side, one it can be, coding seen as a homework, something the kid do every day, exercises, plus, the school I think they will not be motivated at all. The second is the kid loves coding, being at home in the computer and avoid sports. I think you can try to incentive both, but one will eventually take out the other. Also, I think sports in general are more important in that age than anything else. A healthy body when is growing could be a life changing later, you can train yourself into coding at any age and eventually, master it, but a good body could give you access to other professions that require a fit body. I couldn't apply for air force because of my bad fit, as an example and I think the kid, at his age, still doesn't know what to do, better to teach him something cool as coding when he's about to exit is growing period and know more or less what he wants to do for a living (17-18).
