Sport and physical activity provide invaluable opportunities for
              kids to learn teamwork, fair play and dedication. Through sport
              participation, kids learn how to set goals and work to achieve
              them - all while having fun and learning social and fundamental
              movement skills. Kids in sport benefit from increased self-
              confidence and tend to lead happier, healthier lifestyles, now
                                                and in future.
