Why Play Sport?
Find out more about why children and young people play sport.
In August 2007, we asked a number of young people to tell us their reasons for playing sport. Some of their answers are listed below:
- 'it keeps you fit'
- 'it's good fun'
- 'you can meet up with friends and make new ones'
- 'competitions are exciting'
- 'it teaches you discipline'
- 'it gives you something to do and gets you off the street'
