play team sports

"As a professional rugby league player I have been brought up playing team sports. Being part of a team builds your confidence, helps to motivate you to keep fit and socialise with your friends."
St Helens centre Michael Shenton

why play team sports?

It can be so much easier to maintain a regular fitness regime with a group of people rather than trying to go solo. Team sports give you the ideal opportunity to have fun with your mates at the same time as keeping yourself fit and healthy.

what do team sports teach you?

  • Responsibility - each member of a team accepts responsibility for themselves and their comrades.
  • Teamwork - when you're on a team where everyone is striving for the same goal there is far more chance of success.
  • Competitiveness - this gives you an extra edge when approaching your opposition and keeps you working hard until the final whistle.
