Sports can play an important role in your child’s aging and maturing process. A common and fun sport to start with is basketball. This sport can be played by women, men, girls, or boys – it doesn’t matter.

The reason why this sport is such an effective one to begin with is because it teaches the importance of team work and team spirit, while helping your child get in shape. Your child can start playing as young as six or seven years old too with an organized team.

Organized teams are a great way to start off, but as you grow older you’ll be able to participate with others you don’t know in a pickup format. All you have to do is show up at the park, ask if you could join in, and you’ll be able to have some fun while meeting new people.

Meeting new people is one of the many great advantages of playing this sport. It’s not uncommon to befriend these individuals off the court in the future, so it’s almost as if you can meet potential friends anywhere there’s a basketball court.

Even though these relationships just begin on a small basketball court, they can develop into a close friendship for many years to come. It’s such a common scenario to happen too.

Although it’s arguably much more enjoyable playing with others, you don’t even need to play with anyone. You can practice shooting, dribbling, and get better at the game by yourself. Then show up your friends or acquaintances.

You could also just play with one other person if you wanted to, and have just as much fun. There are many games out there that you can enjoy for hours on end, like five-three-one or horse. You could also just play a one on one game, maybe two on two if you found some more people, and so on.

If you don’t feel like running all the way down the court you can play half court too. With this much flexibility, it’s easy to play basketball and have fun doing it. Not only that, but you’ll be keep in shape as you do.
