Enjoying Sports - 3 Ways for Children to do so
Playing Little League Baseball
Playing Little League baseball is especially great for kids to do. It is extremely important in both their physical and mental development. It helps them become more coordinated and develop the physical skills they will be need in their everyday lives. It helps them gain confidence in their own abilities and learn that practicing a physical skill can lead to improvement of physical skills. So many kids are afraid to play little league baseball or join a soccer team or play basketball because they are not that good at it. Not encouraging these children to participate is sending the wrong message. It is telling the kids that if something is physically hard to do then they should not even attempt it. Today most sports leagues for kids have beginning level teams that encourage participation by poor athletes do not even keep scores at their games and work hard at practice sessions to improve the physical ability of children. It is very important that parents support their kids in their efforts and encourage them to improve, complement their efforts, attend their games and practices and find the time to practice with them in a non-critical way. There is always some risk in every physical activity but the benefits of youngsters playing baseball or some other team or individual sport in my opinion far outweighs the risk.
Visit a Baseball Card Show with your Children
Going to a baseball card show is a great way for families; father and son, mother and son, father or mother and daughter or the whole family to enjoy a leisurely day and enjoy meeting current and retired professional athletes, buying sports memorabilia and getting autographs from these stars of today and yesteryear. This is a fun activity that parents and children can enjoy together. A complete baseball card show will include tables where venders sell sports memorabilia, including old and new sports cards, autographs and novelty sports items and where there is one or more autograph guests attending the show to sign autographs. On May 20th and May 21st, 2006 a major baseball card show will be held at the Wayne New Jersey PAL building, at 1 PAL Drive in Wayne New Jersey. At this show there will be many current New York Yankee and New York Mets players attending and signing autographs as well as many great Yankees and Mets of the past. Current players attending will be: Chien-Ming Wang, Tanyon Sturtze, Robinson Cano, Shawn Chacon, Aaron Small from the New York Yankees and Chris Woodward and Rick Peterson from the New York Mets. Retired players will include former Yankees Rudy May, Oscar Gamble, Gene Michael, Art Ditmar, Johnny Blanchard, Ross Mochito and Gene Michael and former New York Met hall of famer Tom Seaver. For further information regarding this show you should call the show promoter at 201 612-0006.
Take the Family to a Baseball Game
Take me out to the ball game is not only a song, it is the desire of almost all kids of all ages. For sheer pleasure and enjoyment there aren’t too many other things that a kid wouldn’t rather do on a weekend than go to a professional league baseball game. It can be a major league baseball game, but it can also be a minor league baseball game. Today there are minor league baseball teams all over the country. The level of play is not as high as that of the major league teams but is still very good and they are far less expensive than major league games, costing about as much as movie tickets. The games are competitive and enjoyable. Most minor league teams have mascots and entertainment, such as relay races and contests going on in between the innings throughout the game to keep the crowd entertained at all times. The phrase “buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks I don’t care if I never get back” has real meaning at these games because a baseball game to the kids and adults is an escape, a true escape and a stress breaker from the pressures of school, family and work. Sports is there for all to enjoy and the best way to do that is to play the game, watch the game and participate in other activities relating to sports. So whether you are a kid or an adult (an older kid) get out there and enjoy the sport of your choice. I think you will find it a worthwhile endeavor.
