Sports for Toddlers: Basketball

Keeping score is not important at this stage; plus, your child will more likely miss the basket than make it. Still, don’t discount this all-time favorite Pinoy sport.

Benefits:

• Promotes physical fitness. Because it involves lots of running and jumping, basketball helps kids build speed, strength, and cardiovascular health.
• Develops hand-eye coordination.
• Boosts confidence. When a child makes a basket, it’s the greatest thing in the world for him.
• Promotes socialization skills.
