Teamwork: Teamwork is a great learning tool for students to develop at a young age to prepare them for the real world. In order to win students must work together to make it happen just how students must work together in school!
-
Leadership: Sports teach students the responsibility it takes to lead and guide others/the world. Leadership is an essential skill for students to develop that’ll be helpful in the long run and in their future. For instance, if a student later in life decides they want to be a politician they got to develop those skills while playing sports!
