Encouraging Sports Among The Youth

By Ravin Gallmoed


sports is not merely a game that entertains. There are a lot of benefits that can be gained from doing sports especially for children and the youth. Young people need to make the most out of their young days and learnas mucha s they can. Sports is a really good venue for this, which is why schools and youth organizations strive to give out sports trophies in UK.

Kids who are into sports are physically fit and have good health. They also have a sound mind. Besides that, they also develop emotionally and socially. They learn a lot of good values including leadership, teamwork and camaraderie.

Nontheless, schools and youth coordinators are now having problems in encouraging the youth to play sports. A lot of them would rather party or go out with friends. They don't have the drive to get those cheap trophies that are awarded in sports. Because of this, more effort is required in order to encourage them. The following are some things to be done in order to promote sports among young people:

1. Give them choices-allow young people to choose the sports that they would want to engage in. the more choices, the better since there would be some who wouldn't excel in one but would surely do good in another.

2. Support them-a lot of young people get discouraged to play sports because of the lack of support and attention given to them. Supporting them doesn't mean spoiling them. Simple ways such as ensuring that they have complete equipment and enough training would already be enough.

3. Reward them-nothing spells motivation more than giving recognition to what they have achieved. Sports awards and medals are really great ways of encouraging more young people to engage in sports. This can be through simple plaques, medals or trophies in UK.
