Social Development
Beyond the obvious(but extremely important) physical health benefits youth sports provide, youth sports can do wonders for a child's development. According to a 2005 study by Fraser-Thomas, Côté & Deakin, youth sports contribute to the 5 C' s of positive child development:
Competence- Developing skills and abilities.
Confidence- Building self-esteem and belief in oneself.
Character- Fostering moral values and integrity.
Connections- Forming positive relationships with others.
Compassion- Developing empathy and concern for others
