High Cost Of Youth Sports

What if there was a world where no kid ever had to suffer with playing sports,where no one ever got hurt, where in the sports world kids were safe from danger. Although when you play sports you can get more fit and get more healthier. Competitive sports for the young risk a lot of injuries kids being hurt that they might give up on the sport that they play. Spending too much money can be a real threat to parents, some parents don’t have enough money to help their child achieve what they want to do with sports. Also spending too much time wanting to win, putting pressure on the child/children in which the child/children want to quit the sport, where sometimes little kids want to play for fun. Therefore competitive sports are bad for the young
Some of my evidence is from the article High Cost Of Youth Sports and they state that “parents spend $671 on average paying for child’s uniforms and gear”. Meaning that parents are spending so much money on their kid/s imagine if you had more than one kid, one kid equals $671 what if there is a family of 8 kids, I know what that is like because I have a friend who has seven siblings and all besides two play a type of sport. I also know the parents need to have good jobs in order to keep this up. Another evidence is that “1-5 parents spend up to 1,000 or higher for kid’s gear and uniforms”. From the same article High Cost Of Youth Sports. This is just saying that more money goes into youth’s sports than it seems like anything else! My last piece of evidence is “Youth sports are no longer an excellent opportunity for social involvement determined by passion and skill, but by the family's financial resources sustaining 5 billion a year industry” Yet again from the article High Cost Of Youth
My evidence is from the article Why I Don’t Want My Kids To Play Sports and personal experience.. In the article Why I Don’t Want My Kids To Play Sports, they quote “Nowadays however, what I see are parents itching to land their kids far off college scholarships”. Some of my other evidence is from personal experience, one of my personal experiences is, when I was little I played soccer. My parents always pushed me to always do my best and work harder, so I could win my games,but sometimes I just wanted to have fun and play the game.My other piece of evidence is that I remembered when I was 8 I lost a soccer game and I remember getting home that night and being disappointed at myself because I had lost the game , and I felt like it was my fault.
As my opposing statement they say that sports for the young are beneficial because you can get healthy and fit. My rebuttal is that you don’t have to play sports to get healthier and more fit, you can do that by just working out. Also Among 13- to 17-year-olds, the rate fell from 42.7% to 39.3%. This is the percentage of kids actually getting fit or
