  The Benefits of Youth Sports

  There are endless benefits of having your child participate in sports. Children who participate in sports experience physical benefits as well as forming healthy habits and gaining behavioral, societal, and personal development benefits. Sports are worth participating in for the physical benefits alone, as non-athletes are 60% more likely to become overweight than those who play sports. Check out a bit more about the benefits of youth sports taken from public school statistics:

  • Developing healthy habits – Sports have been shown to prevent drug and alcohol abuse by helping students increase the awareness of their body and how it responds to various circumstances and stimuli. Athletes tend to value their bodies more and are less likely to use drugs and alcohol and participate in high-risk or unhealthy behaviors.
  • Behavioral benefits – Studies have shown that young people who participate in sports are less likely to engage in risky behaviors or be involved in crime. For example,, female high school athletes are three times more likely to graduate than those who don’t play sports, and they’re also 92% less likely to get involved with drugs. Students who participate in sports after school are less likely to be associated with or be the victim of crime.
  • Personal development benefits – Participating in youth sports helps students develop their talents. It builds their self-respect and self-esteem and provides plenty of social interactions. Sports teach kids how to control their emotions and work together. It teaches them how to deal with adversity and criticism and also provides leadership opportunities. These are just a few of the personal developments that benefit children who are involved in sports.
  • Societal benefits – Kids who play youth sports are less likely to go to prison, join a gang, skip class, have discipline problems in school, and participate in negative behaviors. In addition, kids who play sports are more likely to do well in school, go to college, become a director or manager, and generally feel better about themselves.
