4 Reasons Why Your Kid Should Play Basketball

-





If you’re a parent looking for reasons why you should enroll your kid in basketball, look no further. Let us be the one to shed light on the topic. Basketball, or sports in general, remains to be a big part of modern society. Some kids do it because it’s fun, some just do it because of pressure, while some do it because they want to become pros later in their lives. No matter the reason for playing basketball, we know there’s a lot your kid can learn from it. 



Develop self-discipline.

Basketball is a game that requires constant movement. As a player, your kid has to run, dribble, pass and, shoot, and that’s a good thing. As your kid gets exhausted, sweat, and maybe shed a tear or two, you’re helping them develop the self-discipline that they need as they grow older to become responsible adults.

Overcome challenges.

Facing an opponent in court is a challenge in itself. Your kid can learn to overcome challenges better by listening to the coach, learning to be a team player and, knowing how to make quick decisions. Your child may face bigger, faster, and stronger opponents but with the right strategy and positive mindset, these opponents become just another challenge he/she needs to overcome.

Improve self-esteem.

Winning a game feels good, but sometimes, you lose and that is a-okay. The earlier kids realize that sometimes they have to fail to come out even stronger, the better it will be for their self-esteem. Let your kid know that you have his/her back every step of the way.


Have fun.

Your kid’s coaches and teammates can be friends and support each other. With every game they play together, they become closer and the bond becomes stronger. Because of this, every game becomes fun and every challenge, a new adventure.

Back to School: Helping Your Child get back on Track Following the Pandemic 1. Do not be afraid to ask for help Returning to in-person learning is new for all of us! Help your child feel confident in asking their teachers, counselors, and or other school administrators for assistance in any adjustments to their daily routine as they are getting back to the classroom. Our Royal Staff is happy to share anything we’re seeing and hearing, as thousands of students have returned to school over the past week. There is no replacement for face-to-face interaction, and we’re excited to see schools re-open for much needed in-person learning.  2. Create a checklist  There is nothing wrong with a good old fashioned list or white board to remind us of things that we need to accomplish, and make sure our families are in sync! Families who write things down and use that source as a reference, find it to be extremely helpful -- especially in managing the busy schedules of families with student athletes

Being an Exemplary Youth Sport's Parent - Part 1

-

Shouting abusive comments, stomping their feet, yelling at the referees, mocking the coach; we all know a negative youth sport's parent when we see one. These images are never a good sight at a youth basketball game. Other parents sitting in close proximity feel embarrassed to be associated with them. Their own child watches on in bewilderment at the actions of their parent. There’s really no place for a parent that acts this way in youth sports. Sports are competitive. It’s easy for parents to get caught up in the game, just like the players and coaches do. Every parent wants their child to have success. Unfortunately, this adult fueled competitive nature, and the innate parental desire to see your child to succeed has led many parents to forget what is really important in youth sports. We also have parents who come to games, sit happily on the sidelines encouraging their kid, and appreciate the enjoyment their child is having no matter what numbers say on the scoreboard. These ar
