Statsky argues that children’s competitive sports should be reformed because they favor the most coordinated and strongest children (par. 7) to the exclusion of children who are weaker or less skilled. What evidence does Statsky offer to support this claim, especially for the youngest participants in Pee Wee Football and Little League? Is it possible that the stronger and better coordinated children might be drawn to organized sports because they enjoy playing more? Might children who enjoy physical activity have developed the skills needed to succeed on the playing field through practice rather than through the process of development? Should those who organize children’s sports have an obligation to include all children who want to participate? Why or why not?
