Some people think that competitive is the best reason when it comes to playing sports for children. However, in my opinion, children should play sports not for learning competition, but for pursuing enjoyment. Sports can account for children’s positive develop in their body, and competition in sport between children is not even. To begin with, sports are basically for exercise and healthy body. Children can usually advance their body and make the body more stronger than ever before through activities such as moving and jumping in exercise. Also, people usually say that competitive sports in childhood can cause serious stress because it triggers pressure of winning. It is bad for health especially to juvenile. Due to this negative effect in sports, 80 percent of physical education teachers responded that the primary goal of sports is exercise and training children’s body to a poll. On top of that, competition is not fair. Because children have different speed of their body development each other, kids don’t have same size and strength. Also, they have varying height and weight. Thus, it is self-evident that sports competition between kids can’t be impartial. Someone will have advantage due to his or her peculiarity such as tall height, and strong power than his or her colleagues. Take the example of my cousin, who is smaller than her same age group. She had opportunity to participate in wrestling matches. Of course she lost wrestling competition against bigger kids in her peers. She felt depressed through the fail caused by partial competition. To sum up, when it comes to playing game for children, competition must not be priority during doing sports because main function of sports is training body and competitive sports between children is not impartial. In this regard, I firmly believe that children should try physical activity for fun rather than for matching.
