unathletic
Poor at sports
Unathletic describes someone lacking physical coordination, strength, or aptitude for sports.
The word often carries self-deprecating humor: I was the unathletic kid picked last in gym class.
It can also describe movements or bodies that don't suggest athletic ability: an unathletic shuffle to first base.
