Focus on Fundamentals A HEALTHY RETURN TO THE BASICS OF AGE-APPROPRIATE DEVELOPMENT IN YOUTH SPORTS
T
he youth sport movement in Amer ica b egan in t he 19th century with the start of the mandatory-schooling movement. Sports were seen as an important element in teaching “American” values of cooperation, discipline, hard work, and respect for authority. Youth sport opportunities in the early 19th century were facilitated by educators and teachers who were guided by principles of age appropriate growth and development as well as a big picture, long term educational outlooks that focused on the needs and learning abilities of children. And the ultimate goal of team sport participation/education was for America to produce healthy, proud, compassionate, and productive citizens. Competitive children’s activities have certainly evolved since they began in late 19th-century. Starting in the the 20th century, organized youth groups eventually took on the responsibility of providing children with sports activities. This movement was paralleled by the advent in the 1960’s of the self esteem movement - where every child got a ribbon - and a higher stakes college admissions culture, that created a “growing competitive frenzy over college admissions as badge of parental fulfillment.” Check us out on-line at www.oregonfamily.com
(Historian Peter Stearns) Competition was the buzz word of the 1990’s and has continued to ramp up the anxiety for parents in this decade who are seeking the magic solution when it comes to a meaningful youth sport experience. It is hard not to get caught up in the arms race of winning championships, national titles, and world championships for kids aged 4 to 14 playing youth sports in America. Youth sports has thus in the 21st century, e volve d to b e c ome more about the end result and winning rather than the educational pathway for long term development through learning and love of the game. For parents of children in the 21st century, the youth sport scene is a challenging one. Parenting has in fact been deemed the most competitive sport in America as Mom’s and Dad’s seek to navigate the current youth sport culture that has them scheduling personal trainers, budgeting for travel, making appointments with physical therapists and orthopedic surgeons, and purchasing the latest in performance enhancing equipment, all the while giving up f i n d

family dinners and vacations. It might be then both disheartening and yet welcoming at the same time for parents to know that in 2015, there is now a national crisis within the ranks of youth sports. According to the Aspen Institute’s Project Play 2015 report, kids are leaving sports in a
sig nif ic ant way. 2.6 million fe wer k ids are playing basketball, soccer, track & field, baseball, softball, and football. (Sports & Fitness Industry Association - SIFA data provided to the Aspen Institute,

based on 2013 statistics) The reason: “Today, adult led competition dominates and try-out based, multi-season travel teams for as early as age 6, siphon players from and support for in-town recreation leagues that serve all kids. The emphasis of performance over participation happens well before kids’ bodies, minds, and interests mature. We tend to value the child who can help win games or whose families can afford the rising fees. The risks for that child are overuse injuries, concussion, and burnout.” (Farrey, Tom, Game On: The All American Race To Make Champions of Our Children, New York: ESPN Books, 2008) Despite the loss of youth sport participation however, research still shows that kids who are involved in sports are less likely to abuse drugs and alcohol, get involved in gangs, will have a later on set of sexual activity, and are more likely to do better in school and have positive peer relationships. SO WHAT TO DO? The Aspen Institute’s Project Play suggests that we adopt a sport model that welcomes all children based on broad access which leads CONTINUED ON PAGE 2… PAGE 1

to sustained participation. Up to age 12, youth sport programs and activities should focus on a child’s ability, confidence, and desire to be active. The program: Sport for All, Play for Life - responds to the growing body of research that supports a sampling period of sport activities through age 12, even for elite athletes. Indeed, contrar y to popular assumption, athletes are more likely to play at the college level and beyond if they wait until later to specialize in one sport. (see www.ProjectPlay.us) Both health and performance are served if the preteen years are treated as a development zone with activities that build physical literacy. (Epstein, David, “Sports Should be Child’s Play,” New York Times, June 11th, 2014)
Project Play also identifies eight promising strategies that stakeholders can use to help every child become physically active through sports. They are: • Ask Kids What They Want • Reintroduce Free Play • Encourage Sport Sampling - Multi sports rather than specializing • Revitalize In-Town Leagues • Think Small • Design for Development • Train All Coaches • Emphasize Prevention

The eight promising strategies of the Aspen Institute’s 2015 Project Play are almost back to the future with regards to the goals that America’s fore father’s and mothers had for 19th century youth; that through sport their children would become healthy, proud, compassionate, and productive citizens of the world. We’ve come full circle and now is the time to give the game back to the kids and and get out of their way.

Rescue Spotlight
I
TALIA is a gorgeous little female teenage (about 10 mos old) gray tabby kitty with silver swirls in a tuxedo pattern. She tends to be scared of new situations, and will need some time to adjust to a new environment, but once she is comfortable and trust is established, she will seek you out for love. She is a playful and VERY intelligent little girl: she will play “fetch the toy mice”, likes puzzles, and really enjoys classical music! Playing with her is a great way for her to bond with you. Italia was rescued from a hoarder situation where there were a large number of cats living in the home. She is very sociable with other cats, and has been a mother hen to the kittens in the cattery -- so she would love to be in a home with another friendly kitty. Italia just needs a patient human who will understand her quirks and give her the loving that she so deserves. Her adoption fee is $75, which is strictly to help cover our costs. She has been tested for feline leukemia and FIV (she is negative), spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, defleaed and dewormed—plus you get a free vet visit. Italia is now in the cat room at Petsmart in South Eugene (28th and Willamette). For more info, call Beth at (541) 255-9296.

indy is a rare dog for sure! As a Bandogge Mastiff mix, she sports the very particular features of her watchdog ancestors but none of their discipline. Bindy’s main concern is the number of kisses that she can solicit from as many strangers in a given amount of time. This 6-year-old’s not an “I’ll walk by your side and look pretty” kind of dog, She’s a “Let’s do 71 lb. cannonballs in mud puddles and then chase squirrels!” kind of Pooch. If you know someone that is currently petless and has a penchant for fun, let them know about the boisterous and most enjoyable Bindy!

Sally’s Guide to Picking a College
ext year at this time, my daughter Sally expects to be packing for college. But first she must find the right one. Assisting in her quest, I’ve learned plenty about the selection process. Enough, anyway, to write “Sally’s Ten-Point Guide to Picking a College.” 1. Don’t take your parents’ advice too seriously. Yes, they have experience, but it only confused them. You’re better off figuring things out for yourself. 2. Rule out any college whose sweat shirt is worn by someone you don’t respect. For example, how could a school like Tulane University call itself “selective” when it lets a creep like Molly Borborigmus wear its sweat shirt practically every day? 3. Consider the school colors. You’re going to be looking at them and wearing them for four years and maybe longer. Wouldn’t you prefer hues that bring out the color of your eyes? Orange and blue? Purple and gold? What was the thoughtprocess!? My color is basically aqua, but with a little more blue and a little less green, so my college search is extra-hard. 4. Some colleges have names that sound like a disease (Ursinus College for example) or sound silly (like Muhlenberg or Millsaps). You just don’t need that. Go somewhere else. 5. Don’t worry about how high tuition is.
That’s just the asking price. There are tons of face-saving ways they can knock down the price. I know kids whose main qualification is that their butts would fit into classroom chairs, and the admissions people are saying, “Hey! You qualify for the $4,000 Trustees’ Warm-Body Award and another $2,000 from the Chancellor’s Clean-Plate Club.” State college costs about half of what a private school costs, and community college is almost free. But living at home is unthinkable, and so is living in a dorm with cinderblock walls. Be sensible; put in your four years at someplace really nice. After all, it’s only money. Besides, if your parents are like mine, they could use a kick in the pants. My dad has been coasting along in the same low-paying job for nine years with no sign of ambition or enterprise. My mom only works three or four days a week. Hello? Wake up! Does the word “potential” apply to anyone over the age of 18? 6. Visit the dining hall. Your high school guidance counselor won’t tell you about the “freshman fifteen.” That’s the poundage a lot of kids pack on their first year of college. You want a school that has a really good salad bar. Stanford? Princeton? Whatever. You don’t want to be waddling home at Thanksgiving fat as a turkey. This issue is a dealbreaker.
7. Visit the school’s web site and get their brochures. Look at the kids in the pictures. Not just the guys. Go in-depth. Look at the girls, too. Can you see yourself hanging out with any of them? Yes, these kids were hand-picked by the administration to be in the pictures, but they have to be real students, don’t they? 8. Get a friend to apply to the same college. What’s more important than friendship? What if you get to college and fail to befriend the cool kids in the brochures? You’ll be glad of the buddy system. Plus you’ll be able to find a ride home for holidays (unless you’ve found someplace more exciting to go -- as I intend to). 9. Conversely, find out if anyone you dislike from your high school is going to the college of your choice.
Maybe one slightly objectionable person would be OK if the college is really huge. But you don’t want to be walking across campus and think you are suddenly back in C-Corridor of your old high school jostling your way through the same crowd of geeks, freaks, dorks, dunces and blowhards. Also, think twice about a college that would accept such inappropriate people. 10. One last thing: Check to see if the college teaches the subjects you’re interested in. (That’s if you are desperately needy knowledge-wise. But if you’re already smart – like me – don’t obsess over it. For us, college is not about curriculum; it’s about lifestyle.)
