It benefits the kids and the parents.

Participating in sports at an early age actually benefits a lot of these kids' academics indirectly. A lot of parents take the approach that, if you're not doing well in school, then you can't play sports. That forces the kids to focus and also makes them get used to sticking to a regimen.

More parents are starting to understand that if you teach kids about exercise at an early age, you have a better chance of keeping them involved. They are realizing that if the kids are having fun, then that's what matters most.
