Evolution Of Youth Sports Development Over the past few decades sports have continued to elevate, evolve, and most of all develop especially in the youth of this age. Many children tend to play only one sport, and limit themselves from the endless possibilities that they may have as a young athlete.

essay I will explain why I think participating in sport teams leave a positive effect on athletes. Ill start off by mentioning what I think are some the positives.

Being a team player is the most important part of being apart of a sports team. Without working as a team there…

Participation in sports has become common among children and adults. Youth sports are a fun way for kids under 18 to participate in sports and have fun doing what they love. Some people argue that youth sports teach young athletes the value of teamwork and leadership. Others argue that youth sports have become too intense and competitive. I believe that youth sports have become too intense and competitive because of the increased injuries in young athletes and the attitude of parents and coaches…

Informal player-controlled sports differ from organized adult-controlled sports because of the way player-controlled sports allow people to learn how to organize games, cooperate with peers, form teams, develop rules, and take responsibility for following and enforcing rules. One downside of player-controlled sports is that they do not always learn the strategies of the sport and have trouble managing relationships with adult authority figures. Organized adult controlled sports keep children…

Should school get rid of sport? In Pro-Sport articles, the author always puts up a picture of children or teenagers winning something and they all are smiling from cheek to cheek. What is doesn't show is the other half of the calculation - the losers. More than 20 nations have better high school graduation rate. Americans are distracted by sports, and it has gone too far. Advocates of school not getting rid of sports claim sports are an American beloved tradition. However, sports are…

For many years, sports of all kinds, and those sports coaches have pushed their athletes or their children beyond their physical and mental breaking point. Is it the kids who sign up for these activities; or the coaches taking their coaching ability too far? In sports today, athletes almost feel pressured to participate in activities where all the coaches do is bring them down and lower their self-esteem. Coaches who push “workouts” or “not mandatory practices” way before the season starts, and…

situations in sports that involves their children. Statsky states that, “Though many adults regard Little League and Peewee Football as a basic part of childhood, the games are not always joyous ones.” (349) Statsky believes that children between the age of 6 and 12 should not participate in sports like above because it can harm them mentally and physically.

I think that coed sports should be allowed. I think that because some people don’t want to play with their own gender all the time and it can be more challenging. Before puberty, boys and girls who play sports together can learn many things about themselves. As the web site www.youthletic.com said “Signing your child up for coed youth sports can help them build important life skills like confidence and can help dispel harmful gender stereotypes”. Therefore If some people don’t want to play…

Youth Sports Taken Too Seriously It was pure terror during a typical volleyball game at North Davis Junior High. The bleachers shook as one of the team member’s mom came storming onto the court cursing at the coach for not playing her daughter. Embarrassment flushed the daughter’s face and her confidence visibly decreased. Parents take youth sports too seriously, and it’s become a huge problem. What makes parents so crazy about their children’s sports? Parents should not be allowed to talk or…
