Editing Have you ever pondered the question

"Is playing sports at a young age good for kids?" Many parents have debated about the pros and the cons.

Ace tutors is a tuition agency in Singapore that has looked into this question that has been confusing many parents. Want to know the results?

The short reply to the question is: "Yes!"

Many parents scoff at the idea of allowing your children to participate in sports. A lot of them claim they would rather spend the money to hire a home tutor instead, especially since in Singapore, there is a very competitive education system in place.

But who says you have to choose between one or the other? As they say, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, and there is enough time in the day for both tuition and sports even in the country of Singapore. Much scientific studies have been done on the subject.

Studies show that children who start the habit of sports early are more likely to continue the practice later in their life. This is critical as research has shown that people become less active as they grow older. Sports build up your body, building healthy muscles, bones and reducing your fat (which helps protects against high blood pressure. This is a good thing, as after all - if you don't have your health, then you don't have anything else as well.

But in case some parents are still worried that playing sports will dull the smartness of their child, consider this - research has shown that physical activity actually increases a child's academic achievements! This is because a healthier child has a stronger body and is more attentive than a child who is tired all the time and thus not conducive to learning.

There is also the case of personal development - playing sports build up discipline, teaches your child to work as a team, and builds up positive self-esteem in themselves. Compared to their non-athlete friends, sports players are less likely to use drugs and to suffer depression! So the verdict is in - a dash of sports will improve anyone's lifestyle.

There is one situation where things are not so clear cut - what if your child wants to train full time for a sport, such as being a famous basketball or soccer player? We believe that parents should be supportive of any goals their child might have, but also teach him to be realistic. Full time sports are a huge commitment which takes many years of life and most players do not make it big. It's all a matter of communication and understanding whether your child is dedicated to the cause.

The important thing is - never sacrifice studies, as a sports career is hard to maintain as one grows older, yet the mind only grows wiser and stronger as we mature!
