Engaging in sport has many benefits, and it’s not all physical. When it comes to kids, engaging in a sport can help to create habits and health benefits that last long into adulthood.

According to many kids-related organizations in the world, Children should accumulate at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity every day. Some of this will occur at school each day, but it’s important to remember that the more physical activity kids engage in the better.

LEARNING IMPORTANT LIFE SKILLS

Engaging in sport is important for more than just physical fitness. Playing sport often means being part of a team and this allows for building skills in a whole range of areas. As well as learning all of the techniques involved in the sport, children can also develop their life skills. Playing team sports encourages cooperation and sharing, resilience, goal setting, and building relationships. Learning to lose is also an important skill that’s often uncovered through playing sport.

BE A ROLE MODEL

Parents can encourage their kids to play a sport in many ways, including through role modeling. It’s not just parents and careers that are role models for children though. Kids often look to teachers, sports coaches, and before and after school care employees to be inspired and encouraged when it comes to sport.
Keeping active is a skill for life. Active kids are more likely to become active adults so encourage your kids to get involved in physical activity and sport from a young age and ensure you’re being a role model when it comes to sports.

FIND YOUR TEAM

Kids can find their sporting team through their local school, sports center, holiday program, or before and after school care service. Trying out a range of different sports can help your child find one that suits them. Make sure your child has plenty of opportunities to try activities out before settling on one.

Sport has many benefits for kids. It improves physical fitness, teaches important life skills and increases the chances they will become active adults. Be a role model and encourage your children to get active as much as possible.
