Interested to hear if any of your kids good at sport? What they do and what they’ve achieved!?
My daughter (8) plays football and really enjoys athletics, I’m of the opinion that sport is really important for the physical and mental wellbeing of children and adults for that matter.
What dissapoints me is how expensive sport is for youngsters, when I was younger I believe all sports we did were free or there was a minimum fee to cover costs when it came to football, Athletics club etc.
Kids football, gymnastics, karate etc. all seems to be £10 a session, a problem with our economically driven society, so many kids with potential are lost
Football was played on any grass, tarmac pitch or road when we were young but now everything has to be at a cost apart from the kids school football. We must lose so many talented kids to the expense of sports. It’s such a shame that there are now so few places where kids can play football without being expected to pay. Anyway sorry think this post turned into a rant but appreciate your comments and insight.
