Participation has plummeted for number of children being enrolled in youth sports recently. People spectate it could be due to the shocking results of CTE studies and the serious dangers of traumatic head injuries. Others think children are only captivated by technology; staying inside and staring at an iPad. Here are six reasons why you need to enroll you child in one of next season’s activities…

1. Great Venues

When else do children really go outside to play anymore without being stripped of all electronic devices? Most youth sports get the kiddos outside where they can relieve stress. Fort Collins offers so much to see, learning opportunities are endless, and the parks, schools and indoor courts/gyms are well taken care of.

2. Room for Exercise

Do you ever think your kid has too much energy? Do they bug the crap out of you after a long day of work? Sports will get them running, jumping and crawling while having fun, so when the coach returns them back to you your job is just that much easier.

3. Social Skills

Not only will you get to see your child make new friends on the field or court that could become lifelong friends, but they also learn how to work together with others to achieve a team goal.

4. Community Involvement
