Childhood sports also teach discipline and dedication. Routine physical activity keeps your body healthy. It keeps your brain healthy and sharp, too, during an important time for development. You may not make it to the big leagues but you will benefit from the sports friends and mentors even after you stop playing. Not to mention the association you form between exercise and feeling good.
I'm sure your kids will appreciate you protecting them from the one negative in a sea of positives
