Did you know that participation in sport and recreation can contribute to better educational outcomes? Research shows that children engaged in sport and recreation do better academically, are more likely to enjoy school and even complete their homework.
Participation in sport and recreation can also improve your physical and mental wellbeing, increase your self-esteem, prevent youth offending and anti-social behaviour and create stronger communities.
It helps people, including those from culturally diverse backgrounds, to connect with their communities and provides social opportunities where you can have fun and make new friends. So what are you waiting for? Act now and reap the benefits of participation in sport and recreation for yourself!
