Sport:
An activity requiring physical ability, physical fitness, or technique
and strategy in which usually, but not always, involves competition
between two or more people
Importance of sports in
your child's life:
Where
else can a young, impressionable youth learn values like discipline,
responsibility, self confidence, sacrifice, leadership and
determination? Yes, as parents we try to instill these
values in our children but it is much more effective if they are
learning as they are having fun. Sports, in an invisible way, will
teach your child each of these extremely valuable principles.
Most importantly your children
learn what it is to have fun and how it feels to be successful.
