WHY SHOULD CHILDREN PARTICIPATE IN SPORT

​

No other thing in life affords children such opportunity to develop positive character traits and to soak up many quality values as sports does. Here are some benefits that may come from

playing sports:

Sports helps children develop physical skills, get exercise, make friends, have fun, learn

teamwork, learn to play fair, and improve self-esteem

• Kids’ character and moral principles are formed through fair play. Moreover, children who are actively engaged in sports can be good role models for their peers from school, neighborhood, or even school choir, and inspire them to start playing some sports as well.

• Playing sports enables them to create friendships they otherwise might not have formed. For example, the friendships athletes create on the field remain intact even when they are not playing sports, and often last a lifetime.

• Sports bring people together from all over the world, regardless of their background

• Teamwork and benefits of social interaction among children are best seen in
  sports. Kids learn they are part of a team that requires the same effort from all members to succeed, as well as how to win with class, and lose with dignity.

• They view competitions on and off the field as opportunities to learn from their success and failure. In addition, losing often motivates kids to work even harder for next time.

• They learn to respect authority, rules, team colleagues and opponents.

• Sport is an important learning environment for children. Numerous studies have shown that children who play sports perform better at school. It is also within sport that peer status and peer acceptance is established and developed.

• Sports experiences help building positive self- esteem in children.

• In addition, participating in sports can be a helpful way of reducing stress and increasing feelings of physical and mental well-being, as well as fighting against juvenile delinquency, conflict and aggressive outbursts. The point is to keep the body in good health in order to be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
