Fewer young people play sports these days. Why is this? What can be done to encourage more young people to do sports?

Nowadays, a limited number of children are interested in outdoor

games

. They keep themselves busy with various gadgets or screens at their homes, and

that is

why, they do not want to play outside. To solve

such

a big issue,

schools

and parents must encourage pupils to participate in physical activities by altering their routines.

To begin

with, today’s mankind is busy running in a money-making race, and

as a result

, people are ignoring how their youngsters are spending their time.

Consequently

,

this

new generation is taking more interest in electronic entertainment like mobile, TV, virtual

games

, and videos. Owing to

this

fact, we could not see many children on the streets like before. In my village,

for instance

, a decade ago there was a playground that was always occupied by kids, but today I can see young people from the area are busy with mobile

games

and that playground remains empty. To overcome

this

problem, the government should impose a strict playing hour rule on every educational institute in the country.

Additionally

, an awareness campaign, about the importance of sport for kids, could help to persuade parents to be involved in their minor's activities.

In other words

, if

schools

and guardians decide to focus on stimulating the urge to play sports inside students

then

there could be a massive change in attitude towards playing sports. In Argentina,

for example

,

schools

are extending their school time to adjust an hour for the encouragement of a football game, and positive results are showing up in the nation.

To conclude

,

due to

technical advancements, pupils are turning more towards virtual

games

rather than actual sports. The regime should think about the compulsion of physical playtime in

schools

, and parents should support them by asking their sons/daughters to play on the field

instead

of on the mobile screen.
