TEAM

From school and summer camp right through college and the job market, a “team player” is a valuable asset.

The ability to put individual needs, differences and desires aside is a key component in being on a team, starting on your youth soccer league.

Kids on a sports team need to learn how to get along with people they may not like and try to concentrate on what will work best for the team, even if it’s at the cost of their own individual glory.

MANAGING TIME

Of course, schoolwork comes first, and extracurricular activities like sports should not get in the way of academics.
![Page 15: Reasons Why Kids Should Play Sports](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568128cf550346895d8b6b8a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
By participating in athletics, your child will need to develop some good time management skills.

You can help by showing him how to manage time and prioritize responsibilities so that homework, chores, sports practices, games and competitions can effectively fit into his or her schedule.

For example, he may have to finish homework rather than watching some TV or playing outside afterschool in order to have everything done before practice.

When helping your child decide which sport he’d most enjoy, look for one where she can grow and improve and be sure to provide positive reinforcement along the way.

Kids participating on sports teams develop social skills that allow them to have a good social standing the rest of their lives.

Not only do they learn to interact with a variety of their peers, but they also learn to be able to interact effectively with older people, in particular their coaches and various sports officials.

DEALING WITH ADVERSITY
![Page 26: Reasons Why Kids Should Play Sports](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568128cf550346895d8b6b8a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Your child will inevitably make errors, miss shots and strike out at some point when they play sports.
![Page 27: Reasons Why Kids Should Play Sports](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568128cf550346895d8b6b8a/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Learning how to handle these kinds of adversity can give them valuable skills for dealing with life’s “curve balls” right through adulthood.
![Page 28: Reasons Why Kids Should Play Sports](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568128cf550346895d8b6b8a/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Learning from mistakes and coping graciously with adversity are excellent character building experiences that will serve your child well in school and beyond.

Mostly, sports are just fun. You’re out running around, learning a skill you love and experiencing the thrill of winning and the not-so-thrilling lows of defeat.
![Page 31: Reasons Why Kids Should Play Sports](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062314/568128cf550346895d8b6b8a/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
