Importance of Community Sports Programmes

Importance of Community Sports Programmes Hemel Hempstead INTRODUCTION The lack of a sports programme in our community has left many young people with no choice but to rely toon gadgets for entertainment and to pass time. Therefore, I feel strongly that theres a need for us to try and save our young generation from the world of new technology that has taken the whole world by storm. We need to go back to those days where the only way to entertain yourself was through activities, e.g. playing games, dramas, socializingsocialsing and so forth. DISCUSSION Today in our community, young people have lost the practicality of what life is. Many of the youths have become too lazy, they cant even use their brains to do anything involving or rather challenging instead they rely on apps to do everything. Many of these young people are now doing verymuch less in terms of socializingsocialising and helping their parents doing choruschores at home. Above all their health is at high risk because they are not doing anything to keep them physically fit. I argue that council representatives need to recreate sports programmes in our community as soon as possible.as thisthes programmes will boost theiryoung people participation in sport that can generate a variety of economic benefits. Sports in the community can, and does do, have positive impacts on individuals, especially young people in the communities and wider society. Below is the research on how sports have impacted on our economy, health and culture. Economic impact In 2010, sport and sport-related activity contributed  £20.3 billion to the English economy 1.9% of the England total. The contribution to employment is even greater sport and sport-related activity is estimated to support over 400,000 full-time equivalent jobs, 2.3% of all jobs in England. Health impact Physical activity, including sport, is linked to reduced risk of over 20 illnesses, including diseases such as cancers Taking part in regular sport can save between  £1,750 and  £6,900 in healthcare costs per person.
