Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Children should only play sports for fun, not in competition or contests.

I still remember I had a lot of fun in playing sports when I was a child and I believe many children love to play sports and get fun from it. But should children only play sports for fun, not in competitions or contest? I don't think so. I incline to the opposite view that children should not only play sports for fun but also in competitions or contests.

Firstly, children can cultivate the competitive spirit from playing sports in competitions or contests. Every participant in a competition is willing to defeat others. Even a child, he or she will try his or her best to win a competition. The competitive spirit is one of important properties for human beings and it plays an important role in personal development. From this point, this kind of spirit can benefit children during their growth. So it is worth to cultivate this spirit from playing sports in competitions or contests for children.

Secondly, children can learn team working from playing sports in competitions or contests. No one can win in a competition only with his own effort. When I was in primary school, I once participated the boys' 50m game in the school's sport game. I was the champion finally. Before the game, my teacher taught me the correct running way and my classmates helped me practising again and again. Although I was the one standing in the runway, I cannot win the game without their help. With considering more games like basketball or football, it is undoubted that children can learn team working from playing sports in competitions or contests.

Last but not least, people can recognize youth sport talents from children in competitions and contests. David Beckham, one of the most popular soccer player in the planet, played for a youth team when he was a child. He was awarded many times due to his outstanding performance in competitions and when he was 14, he became a member of Manchester United, one of the most famous soccer club, where he started his awesome professional soccer career.

To sum up, not only should children play sports for fun but also should play sports in competitions or contests. Children can cultivate the competitive spirit and learn team working from competitions. Furthermore, competitions help those young talents to be recognized.

Even a child, he or she will try his or her best to win a competition. The competitive spirit is one of the important properties for human beings, and it plays an important role in personal development. From this point (What 'point'?), this kind of spirit can benefit children during their growth (It's still very vague what specifically this 'benefit' or 'importance' you're talking about is. You need to be more exact, or the argument will stay shallow.). So it is worth to cultivate this spirit from playing sports in competitions or contests for children.

Secondly, children can learn team working from playing sports in competitions or contests. No one can win in a competition only with his own effort. When I was in primary school, I once participated in the boys' 50m game in the school's sport games. I was the champion finally. Before the game, my teacher taught me the correct running way of running, and my classmates helped me practising again and again. Although I was the one standing in the runway track (The 'runway' normally refers to the stage used in the fashion modelling industry. Or the lead path that a long jumper runs, NOT a track for a sprinter.), I cannot win the game without their help. With considering more games like basketball or football , it is undoubted that children can learn team working from playing sports in competitions or contests.

Last but not least, people can recognize youth sport talents from children in competitions and contests. David Beckham, one of the most popular soccer players in the planet, played for a youth team when he was a child. He was awarded many times due to his outstanding performance in competitions and when he was 14, he became a member of Manchester United, one of the most famous soccer clubs, where he started his awesome professional soccer career (David started with Man U Youth team at 17, and only to Man U at 18-19. But of course, trivial details like this won't matter XD).

To sum up, not only should children play sports for fun but also should play sports in competitions or contests. Children can cultivate the competitive spirit and learn team working from competitions. Furthermore, competitions help those young talents to be recognized.
