- Slows the aging process
- Reduces the risks of injury, and helps you recover faster
It also establishes a healthy pattern of lifetime physical activity, and makes your friends jealous.

Get social!Sports can help you learn social interaction, as well as give you a chance to exercise leadership. In competition, you quickly learn what your teammates --- and you --- are made of. You rely on your teammates and opponents to make you stronger, and pretty soon, you have a new set of friends.
