What Makes Sports Fun for Kids

The number one reason that kids play sports is because they enjoy it. For many kids, winning is nice, but it ranks ranks near the bottom of the list of reasons why they love to play their sport. Having fun with friends, learning new skills and being part of a team consistently provides more fulfillment and translates into kids staying in sport longer. As a coach you can help to foster your athlete’s enjoyment of the game by creating an atmosphere that is fun, promotes team bonding and sportsmanship, and focuses on skill development.
