California Healthy Kids Surveys
The amount of physical activity among youth has dramatically decreased while obesity and chronic health conditions such as diabetes have increased.
Many students are choosing to remain indoors or do not have many outlets or opportunities in which they can go outside and play, causing health risks from a lack of physical activity.
Incorporating sports and physical activity in schools and afterschool programs help to promote better physical health and better lifestyle in adulthood.
Active youth tend to be physically active adults, continuing these health benefits throughout a person’s life on top of the physical and mental health benefits.
Physical and Developmental Benefits
Better vision
Children who spend time outdoors playing, especially organized sports, are less likely to develop vision problems.
Healthy weight
Obesity is increasing in children, but data show that kids who are more active, especially after school, are more likely to be of normal weight.
Motor skills development
Sports participation helps with coordination and learning new skills.
Social skills development
Playing on a team means learning to work with others and support them.
Self-confidence
Success as a team member and an athlete builds confidence.
Mental Health Support
All of the above can play a role in preventing mental health issues.
Sportsmanship
Learning the rules of the game, respect for coaches and referees, and how to stay positive even when losing are all valuable life lessons.
Friendship
While our community bears a need for such positive, enriching programs, we at Turlock Youth Sports Foundation would like to provide such opportunities. We are confident that this program as well as those we will provide in the future will promote not only physical and mental health, but a stronger, positive and promising community as well.
