FPS believe there are numerous reasons why kids should play sports. From helping them develop social and teamwork skills to improving their mental health and physical fitness, there’s no denying that playing sports has several benefits. We have researched and adopted as our ten aims in sports.
When your kids play sports, they are, in effect, participating in a social activity. Since they need to communicate with both their teammates and their coaches on a regular basis, your children will inevitably develop and improve their social skills.
Team sports requires all team members to work together towards a common goal — whether that’s winning the championship or winning the next match. Through their regular practices and matches against other teams, kids will learn to encourage each other and to work together in unison to achieve the common goal.
It’s not unusual for team members to stay in touch with each other even long after they’re done with sports. Together you go through hard times as well as good times and that kind of bond is hard to break. Your team members become a second family.
Playing a sport is not always sunshine and roses. Your child will inevitably face some adversity but the good news is that this will also teach them how to deal with it and how to push through it when they feel frustrated or tired. Life is full of adversities and learning how to deal with it is one of the most valuable skills anyone can possess.
Consider for a moment how your kids spend time after their school obligations and homework assignments are done. Do they chill in front of the screen or are they engaging in a hobby? It will put them in a safe and structured environment and keep them from getting into trouble.
Team sports require commitment and discipline. Kids will need to go to practice every single week, in some cases multiple times per week. They will also need to make sure to do all of their homework before going to practice, which teaches them how to effectively manage their time and make sure all their chores and assignments get done. That’s a lot of hard work that will fully prepare them to enter the workforce when they grow older
Playing sports can also help your child learn respect. As team members, kids will have to learn to respect the decisions their coach makes as well as the decisions of the referees make, whether they agree with them or not. But it’s not just coaches and referees that your kids will have to respect. They will also need to learn to respect their team members as well as players from the opposing team. Most importantly, they will learn how to respect themselves.
It goes without saying that playing a sport helps your child stay physically active. As mentioned earlier, our lives have become very sedentary which bears many health risks. Physical inactivity not only increases our chances of getting seriously ill, it also negatively impacts our mental health. Do your child a favor and enroll them in a team sport.
According to research, sports improves our mental health and increases our cognitive abilities. As such, playing sports can help your children do better in school. As a result, they can get better grades which can open up a world of opportunities from your child. After all, it’s not unusual for kids who do well in both sports and academics to receive scholarships to prestigious universities.
Finally, playing sports teaches your kids to deal with both winning and losing. And while dealing with a win is much easier than dealing with a loss, it’s important for your child to learn how to accept the loss and move on. Keep in mind that as adults, we don’t come out as winners every time which is why this skill is so crucial.
