Sports
Playing sports has a range of physical, emotional, and interpersonal benefits:
- Better vision. Children who spend time outdoors playing, especially organized sports, are less likely to develop vision problems.
- Healthy weight. Obesity is increasing in children, but data show that kids who are more active, especially after school, are more likely to be of normal weight.
- Motor skills development. Sports participation helps with coordination and learning new skills.
- Social skills development. Playing on a team means learning to work with others and support them.
- Self-confidence. Success as a team member and an athlete builds confidence.
- Sportsmanship. Learning the rules of the game, respect for coaches and referees, and how to stay positive even when losing are all valuable life lessons.
- Fun and enjoyment
- Friendship
