Essay On Youth Soccer

Children who participate in youth league will inevitably play in high school and college and on a professional level, it is essential to refine the game for them. Change is uncomfortable for everyone at first, but it is essential to the game. Despite the fact, that nothing will make football completely safe, it is important to remain resilient and use better equipment and technology. Dan believes that everyone who is interested in sports should ask themselves what is the price of football? If men and women learn to adapt and support a game that is less aggressive but will help fortify the future of football, than it is not only the players that will feel and realize the positive

If that child were to regain his sovereignty he may not even know how or see the point in it. Because to regain the freedom of having his own experience of playing, that child needs to just go outside find some other children and have fun. There does not need to be any strict rules or regulations. There is no set start and end time. They are just being active and having fun because they can. This is what is lost in current day when everything is about status and who does what. Parents want to have the kids with the most activities and who are very successful at those activities. There is a certain anxiety for both the child and the parents because “they are afraid that at any moment [they] might fail” (463). Sports teams turn the activity into a competition for the parents and that leads the child to just want to do well enough not to upset their parents. It is not about the kids anymore; it is about winning and following the standard. Break those standards and that child will have such a better experience; one where they learn something other than how to win or how to please a coach, a parent, and a team.

On the other hand, others believe that children should be allowed to participate in contact sports during their high school career if they please to do so. One reason is that people claim that sports equipment is developing to become safer. Experts agree that, "Equipment innovations in energy dispersing pads, telemedicine and technology to reduce brain cavitation inside the skull- known as "brain slosh"- will enhance the safety for young athletes." However, the game is also evolving. It is just a matter of fact of which evolves faster, but ask yourself if you can take that chance. The younger generation is said to be our future. People claim that football builds character

Coaches being able to recruit kids whenever is horrible. In an article by Brian Logue the University Of Virginia coach Lars Tiffany says he won't recruit freshman because if his career had been based on what college coaches saw of him as a high school freshman, there would not have been much of a future for him. But that is the nature of college lacrosse recruiting these days. All these players developing later have the talent to play at the Division 1 level but do not have the chance because colleges have already filled up their recruiting

Being a professional athlete is one of the most commonly heard dreams of a young boy or girl who currently elementary school. Whether it is realistic or not, these kids will be participating in the sport that they wish to thrive in. But, time after time we hear adults complain about their child’s insane soccer schedule, or how they have to spend their whole weekend traveling for games. The parents complaints shouldn’t be the topic of discussion, in fact the only opinions that matter are the children. The question shouldn’t be asking whether or not youth sports are too intense, it should be asking if it is worth it. If a child loves what they’re doing then they have every reason to continue playing their sport, but if they are not all in, he or she has to question whether or not all the craziness is worth it.

Youth sports are being questioned by the public as being too intense. One of the reasons for this is that sport specialization is up to a record high 25 percent(Sirs). This means that one in every four people are only playing one sport which can lead to injuries and psychological issues. Another issue is injuries in youth sports. Most specifically football is being researched intensely for head injuries that can hurt the children for the rest of their lives. Even though some believe that youth sport programs should be less intense they still believe that all sports are helping the youth grow up to be leaders for the next generation. Although many believe youth sports programs

US Youth Soccer is breaking up teams and separating kids from their classmates. All of this is due to the recent US Soccer mandate. It states that age groups will no longer be in line with academic dates (Aug 1 - July 31), age groups will now be determined by the year the player was born in. Now, teams are comprised of kids mostly from the same grade. With the mandate, kids born January-July will be playing with kids born August - December. This means teams will be composed of kids from separate grades. If US Soccer wants to keep building the numbers of kids playing soccer, they should not change the dates defining age groups.

According to the American Academy of Pediatrics Council on Sports Medicine and Fitness, the goal of youth sports "should be to promote lifelong physical activity, recreation and skills of healthy competition”(Source A). The American Academy of Pediatrics on Sports

Youth sports ages are considered to be high school sports and below. “And more than 45 national sports groups, including the USTA, MLB, NFL, PGA, and NHL are backing an effort to encourage multi-sport play” (Rosenwald, 2017, p. 3). Kids love sports, and it’s one of the things that they do for fun. Sports keep the youth in today’s society physically and socially active which can help prepare them for their future greatly. Most kids that do play youth sports are out for more than just one sport, which helps kids even more, and that is very helpful for them. When they play more than one sport it helps them develop skill that they can use in other sports. “They(the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and

Many people think that schools shouldn’t start schools later. It does not help teens at all. Starting school later that means it will affect all sports.

Youth sports in general is being reshaped because of how competitive americans are becoming. Every aspect of kids’ sports has become hypercompetitive hyper organized, and all consuming. The craziness in the culture of kids sports has led to the realization the world has changed. An estimated 40 million young adults are participating in a variety of organized sports For those 40 million apart of organized sports they have to give an almost total commitment to playing and being apart of the team (Ferguson). Sports are considered to be a shared cultural experience between many children, and they can

I personally believe children under nine years old should be permitted to play youth sports. However I don’t feel that it needs to be strict or pushed upon a child either. When you are young playing sports it’s supposed to be a fun experience where you make friends and share a bond with your coach. Each child should get to play different positions and explore all the different aspects of that particular sport.

     In the wide world of sports, teams will try and find a way to better market themselves in the nation to make more revenue. There are many ways to market your team but in the newer generation teams have been taking a different approach. Most teams will advertise there big sports star in trying to have people buy there gear, buy tickets, or simply support their team. But the most effective way to market your team is getting to the kids first. In advertising for a younger generation, you will tie the kids in more at an earlier age and hopefully will stay with the team throughout the years.

Secondly, there is something that does the thing of giving everyone a nobility. When i was in rec soccer we would all get a necklace thing with a big medal soccer at the end of the season and that made everyone feel good and that they were apart of the team. I feel like that's a good thing to do even though you would have those kids that wouldn't do anything or that weren't that good would get a medal also. In way I bet they felt good for getting one. There were some that would even do little playing. It just matters that if you participate a little bit.

such a young age is taking the fun out of the sport by making it all about winning.
