Sports\nimpact youth cognitively, emotionally, socially, and physically.&nbsp; Through participation on a safe and healthy\nteam, youth learn life skills and develop character traits that will assist\nthem when dealing with challenging seasons of life in an urban\nenvironment.&nbsp; Over many months, team\nmembers also grow in decision making skills, goal setting, self-confidence, and\nleadership.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">SEEDs members in Thailand continue to\ninvest in local leaders and local initiatives which will develop youth through\nsports.&nbsp;&nbsp; Although the heart of sports\ntraining happens on the local futsal pitch, the wider network is an important\nplace for training in larger groups, for strengthening inter-neighborhood\nrelationships, and for building excitement among teams.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over the past several months the local\nfutsal network that SEEDS organized several years ago came together to host its\nsixth annual futsal league.&nbsp; Six neighborhoods\ncontributed their assets of people, places, relationships, and skills to make\nthe league possible.&nbsp; Drawing on several\nyears of experience, the SEEDS volunteers and local coaches worked together to\ncreate an ID system to ensure that only registered players were allowed on the\nfield.&nbsp; This innovative solution helped\nboost trust between coaches and players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the one month futsal league, the boys played four out of five rounds\nin two age divisions using a single round-robin format.&nbsp; The fifth\nand final week of the league was canceled because of the Covid-19 pandemic.&nbsp; The final round will be played when\ngovernment restrictions are gradually eased toward the end of the year.&nbsp;&nbsp; No one will forget&#8211;the teams with the most\npoints in their division are still awaiting their trophies!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It\u2019s hard to overestimate the positive impact of sports on young people.
