Why Should Children Play Contact Sports

I believe that children should play contact sports. Children can get hurt doing anything so why should they stop playing sports if they can get a lot of positive things out of it. Sports help people develop social skills and teamwork. Sports help children and their development. Organized sports can teach children life lessons. If your child plays a team sport then they will learn the art of sportsmanship, sharing credit, and responsibility. Being on a team helps children think about others and what's best for the group. Children on teams discover positive feelings toward others and also pride with their accomplishments as well as their own. Many children who play contact sports like football, martial arts, etc. have less stress then the kids that don't. The contact sport helps them take out their anxiety and stress but in a healthy way. For some children that need a way to express their anxiety without harm is to get it out while they are playing a contact sports and they know how much to let out and not overdo it while playing.
A lack of exercise is part of the reason and why because some parents are too scared to let their children play a sport because they think that their child will get injured and hurt. But in all reality they are hurting their children by not letting them get all their energy out and not staying fit. Most children that are active as kids tend to also be very active as adults to. Most children don’t even realize they are exercising to them it just seems like they are playing a game so if they really find it enjoyable then they will keep on
