There are growing numbers of kids in the Draper area involved in team sports. Participating in these activities can be a very positive experience for Salt Lake City kids. They can enhance health and fitness, social maturity, and even cognitive development.
What if your child doesn’t want to participate in organized team sports in your Utah community? Perhaps they have yet to develop the skills necessary or find team sports too competitive or intimidating.
Fortunately, Draper children who participate in individual sports or even simple playful activities can receive the same benefits. With a team, the child has a coach to guide and encourage them in the chosen sport. Absent the team and coach, the guidance can come from the active role parents play in their child’s chosen sport.
Utah parents who playfully nurture their child by playing catch, shooting baskets, or tossing pitches, encourage skill and personal development without the possible downsides of competition.
Many parents in Salt Lake City are organizing non-competitive sports groups. These allow kids to experience sports, meet new friends, and enjoy the improved health and fitness that comes from being active.
