Some people think the best way to education children about cooperation is through team sports at school. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In contemporary society, our world is becoming an intricate matrix of interdependent relationships, in which the mutual dependence constitutes the key to survival. Meanwhile, when it comes to whether young children should acquire the ability to cooperate through physical education from academic institutions, it is easy for individuals to be pulled in conflicting directions.

It is manifest that team Sports, regardless of their abundant sorts and the underpinned skills, are the extensive network of intelligent and psychological factors along with physical power of team members. In other words, when all the elements are incorporated into the training, children can surely grasp the philosophy of collaboration for the simple reason that the learning process would no longer be regarded as a solitary activity but one that integrates companion, support and encourage.

Instead of introducing the solo events, such as running, the school authorities are well advised to prepare place team sports that require at least a pair of students on the teaching list. For example, during basketball competition, the encouragement from team members may probably stimulate the morale, thus leading to better performance and success. On the other hand, the optimistic and positive attitudes provide the premise for the full fulfillment of individual potential, which will add to the chance of victory. Through the physical education provided by school, children would easily comprehend not only the concept of corporation but also the benefits it would bring. 

In the end, the incorporation of team sports into school education is surely a way to assisting with the comprehension of cooperation for children. To teach children how to cooperate, a wide range of process is called for, but if applied properly, this teaching method would play a fundamental role.
