Children In Sports Since the creation of man, sports have had a tremendous role in the way people live their lives. From the time we are born, until the time we die, most of us are involved in some way with sports. Whether it is a scrimmage game of soccer at recess in elementary school, playing on the varsity athletic team, or simply watching the Olympics on TV, sports have an influential role in our everyday lives. We are taught at a young age that sports are fun, exciting and rewarding. Over the past couple decades the growth in youth sport has reflected the popularity of professional sport. This popularity has had a profoundly positive affect on youth sports.
