Team Games Such: At no age is play exclusively individualistic or entirely social. Under favorable conditions, ten-year-old boys become interested in team games suchwork, show loyalty to their team games such, and play a larger number of organized games such as baseball. This growing interest in the team games such partly accounts for the increasing popularity, between the ages of nine and sixteen, of ball games which require skill in throwing and catching and participation in more complicated group organization.
Many girls shy away from competitive team games such games, }n favour of individual activities (Sports Council 1993), and some authorities have gone on to question an emphasis upon competitive games for all children. Duda (1994), for example, suggested that teachers aiming to foster greater enjoyment in physical activity ought to focus upon 'task-orientated goals', achieving personal, achievable tasks and working with other children, not just against them, rather than upon 'ego-oriented goals' to do with beating others.
"This is the most consistent team games such I've ever had," coach Jared Snyder said. "They're just so unselfish. They don't worry about records, stats or who they are. The only thing they want to do is win games and help their team games suchmates. It's pretty awesome to have kids like that. It's just a good group of kids. They really are." |
