nonathletic

Not sports-inclined

Nonathletic describes someone who lacks athletic ability, interest, or physique, or something unrelated to athletics.

A nonathletic person might be clumsy at sports or simply uninterested in them: I was the nonathletic kid who always got picked last.

Nonathletic activities are those outside the realm of sports: The college offers nonathletic scholarships too.
