Whether a team or individual, there is a strong case to be made for children playing sports. Sports provide a great form of exercise and physical activity, help kids develop social skills and self-esteem and engender an ability to learn more about mobility and strength and the unique abilities of their body. What’s more, there is also a strong connection between brain health, cognition, and thinking and physical exercise and sports. Playing sports can also lay the foundation for longevity and life-long health, as well as success in myriad areas of life. What’s more, sports can provide a strong anchor of support to community and family or feelings of belonging, which can be essential for all children, but it especially helps those children who are struggling with issues like violence, divorce, crime, discrimination, bullying, and more.
