What do the teens say?
★★★★★ I enjoy sport as it takes my mind off problems going on in the world. It is fun and enjoyable, especially if you’re playing with friends. It also helps with your teamwork as you help each other by pacing each other or trying to win a game of touch. Angus, 14 years
★★★★★ Sport allows me to meet new people and create friendships and bonds over something we share an interest in. I am able to improve my physical and mental health with people encouraging me to do my best. Playing a sport isn’t always about winning or coming first or getting a PB, it’s about learning how to work with people, to create a strong team with like-minded people and to encourage each other, especially on the days we don’t feel motivated. Ashleigh, 17 years
