The main reason children drop out of sport and activity is because they are not as talented as other kids. It’s a natural process.

Outside of early specialization sports such as gymnastics and figure skating, a child who plays many different sports before their teens is more likely to become a star athlete in later years than a child who specializes in one sport too early.

Where possible, parents should look for additional training programs and specialized off-season workshops so their kids can play their favorite sport year-round.

If a child shows an aptitude for a sport, the parents should insist that he/she gets streamlined into a higher age bracket to create better competition.

When it comes to equipment, competition format, and the physical play area, youth sport programs should look different from adult programs in the same sport.

Single sport athletes are more likely to develop injuries than their multisport counterparts.

If a child wants to do a sport year round, then he/she should be encouraged to do so.

I will definitely tell others why playing more than one sport is good for kids.
