|
| #1 FUN Have you seen the smiles on the faces of kids running around on the court? Or the giant grin after winning a game? Or the look on their face when the coach high-fives them? They are smiling because they are having fun! |
#2 ENCOURAGES A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE When they are out there moving, they are burning calories, developing muscle, and assisting in brain development. |
| #3 SELF ESTEEM Children will push themselves in sports, and will feel good about themselves for accomplishing their goals. |
#4 PERSEVERANCE When children set goals for themselves in sports, it may take a while to achieve those goals. By pushing through when things get tough, they learn they can eventually reach their goal. |
| #5 GAME RULES When kids are playing a sport, they are learning the rules and understanding the game. |
#6 TIME MANAGEMENT Playing a sport involves a big time commitment. You have practices and games. Kids will learn how to manage their time so that they can fit it all in. |
| #7 KEEPS THEM OUT OF TROUBLE Children are less likely to get in trouble with things like smoking and drugs. They will also perform better in school. |
#8 DEALING WITH ADVERSITY Even the most athletic child will come across a time when something is challenging for them. Learning to cope and overcome the adversity is a great life experience. |
| #9 TEAMWORK Kids that play on a team will grow to understand the importance of teamwork. They will also learn what it means to be a team player. |
#10 ATTITUDE Children playing sports will learn to win gracefully, as well as lose gracefully. Coaches will also help the kids understand how important it is to go into a game with a good attitude. |
