PLAYING
TOGETHER
University of British Columbia’s study revealed that kids who participated in team sports experienced greater mental health benefits than those who participated in individual activities or did not take part in extra-curricular activities at all.
Playing on a team, regardless of the sport, gave kids a feeling that they and their teammates were “in this together.”
Physical activity helps healthy growth and development. It:
· gives us energy

· makes us stronger
· prolongs independence as we age
It also helps prevent these chronic diseases:
· cancer
· obesity
· hypertension
· heart disease
· type 2 diabetes
