Team sports give children the opportunity to work with their peers and
coaches, and challenge themselves in a safe environment. They learn the
value of practice and the merits of competition. Sports also provide
natural and fun opportunities for children to get regular exercise. Kids
who are active tend to have stronger muscles and bones, a leaner body,
decreased chances of health issues, and overall a more positive outlook on
life. Additionally, children who are physically fit sleep better and are
more equipped to handle physical and emotional challenges.
.
Encouragement
.
There are many reasons to encourage your child to participate in youth
sports. Playing sports can boost a childs self-esteem, coordination, and
general fitness along with helping them learn how to work with others.
Some children may be hesitant to get involved because team sports often
appear competitive and intimidating. Investigate sports programs before
signing up to find the best fit for your child. Talk with coaches and
other parents about the philosophy of the league or team. Some athletic
associations, like the Y, offer noncompetitive leagues.
.
As children get older, they can handle more competitive aspects such as
keeping score and keeping track of wins and losses. Some children may be
motivated by competitive play, but most are not ready for the increased
pressure until they are 11 or 12 years old. Remember that even in more
competitive leagues, the atmosphere should remain positive and supportive
for the children participating.
.
Sportsmanship
.
Children learn the basics of sportsmanship from the adults in their lives,
especially their parents and coaches. When kids see adults behaving in a
sportsmanlike way, they understand that the real winners in sports are
those who know how to persevere and behave with dignity whether they win
or lose.
