Play is essential for children’s development, both physically and mentally. From a young age, children are naturally drawn to play and engage in it instinctively. It’s through play that children learn about the world around them and develop important skills that will serve them well in the future.

Children enjoy sports for a variety of reasons, including the physical challenge, competition, teamwork, learning new skills, building confidence, and sense of community. By providing children with opportunities to participate in sports, we can help them develop important life skills and promote lifelong physical and mental health.

Sports are a great way for kids to stay active and healthy while learning important life skills. Participating in sports can help children develop physical skills such as coordination, strength, and endurance, as well as important social skills like teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship.

Inactivity is a growing concern for children’s health and well-being. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), insufficient physical activity is one of the leading risk factors for non-communicable diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Early childhood inactivity is a growing concern, as it can have negative impacts on a child’s physical and mental health. Inactivity in early childhood can lead to the development of obesity, poor cardiovascular health, and mental health problems such as depression and anxiety.
