Teen Column: Youth Sports Play Large Role in Community

Derek Fox — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 18:12:48 +0000

What could make perfectly respectable adults lose control and burst into episodes of unrestrained pride or rage as they shout, jump and exhibit what would be deemed embarrassing behavior under normal circumstances?

Youth sports, of course.

In the San Ramon Valley, youth sports have become a huge part of community life. And this is no surprise when one considers the incredible number of sports fields and swimming pools in San Ramon and its neighboring cities.

Whether it was soccer, baseball, basketball, football, swimming, tennis or a combination thereof, nearly every one of my high school friends has played a sport at some point in their young lives.

To be able to participate in youth sports in this area is, in my opinion, a privilege that many often take for granted.

The valley holds a tremendous number of youth sports leagues, from long-time institutions like Canyon Creek Little League and San Ramon Valley Livermore Aquatics to newly formed organizations such as the Tri Valley Soccer Club and the San Ramon Raptor Lacrosse Club. Each one provides fantastic opportunities for its players, parents and coaches alike.

Additionally, the number and quality of sports facilities provided by local cities are a testament to the support that youth sports garner from the local community. Much of this support comes from parents whose own children play on teams.

Although the parents that scream on the sideline are not the best examples of the proper way to support youth sports, they are nonetheless examples of how invested in youth sports local adults have become.

The dedication that many coaches and parents give to youth teams is also mirrored by the dedication from many of the players.

As a San Ramon athlete who has played a variety of sports on a number of different teams, I have seen how important sports are for large number of young people in the area. All the athletes I know love the sport they play, but they also hold secondary reasons for being on teams.

First, sports present an opportunity for teens and young children to make friendships and meet people. I can attest that I first met several of my good friends when we were together on the same team, and through sports a sense of camaraderie is developed.

Also, sports help many youth stay fit, an important aspect in a nation where childhood obesity is ever rising.

And finally, sports have become a method and strategy for a many youth to get into college. The reasoning is that universities look favorably upon well-rounded students, and so many teens keep up with sports so that they can add it to their list of extracurricular activities, or even receive a scholarship.

But whatever the reason children and teens participate on sports teams, the fact remains that youth sport leagues are a huge part of what characterizes the local community.

Without cross town rivalries between soccer clubs like Mustang and San Ramon, without obnoxious little league spectators, and without the countless sports teams in the area, San Ramon Valley would not be the same.
