Will snowboarding get children and young adults interested in Sport?

Thu, 4 Oct 2007 23:38:49 GMT

When I learnt how to board in my first winter season in Serre Chevalier 14 years a go, it opened up a whole new world to me. It was not just an activity but a form of expression with unlimited freedom. I believe this type of activity promotes not only a healthy lifestyle for kids but is an alternative to just being the fastest or the strongest. It is a sport which challenges thought and movement and brings numerous rewards in terms of movement, choice and experience.

I suppose it is very dependent on location and money. Certainly if you live in a ski region or near to an artificial slope in the UK then snowboarding (and skiing too) can be a good focus. It's never going to be a cheap past time though which excludes a lot of young people.

Snowboarding is also one of the 'cool' sports, sometimes too cool for those who feel they might not fit in perhaps?

I think any sport that engages someone physically, mentally, and spiritually will get someone interested and hopefully hooked.
