"Young people
should exercise at least three times a week for twenty minutes, if they are to
maintain a basic level of fitness and good health. They not only gain huge physical
benefits from this but also important social skills as individuals and as part
of a team. They learn that sport is interesting, enjoyable, challenging and promotes
a healthy lifestyle."
