A few players have tweeted that they will try to find a solution and stay optimistic but that it is tough. It shows another sport for women that won’t have equal opportunity or an opportunity to even go pro. What’re your thoughts on this situation? @KIN110UofR

Showing respect for women athletes along with women coaches and trainers! Did anyone know this was an annual day each year? @KIN110UofR

@HolmanMackenzie You definitely develop less negative values through informal sport. Formal sport will always have its competitiveness and the kids want to win. Football for example will always be a rough hitting game and the players are usually aggressive. Informal is better for calm, fun games.

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

Informal sport can have positive and negative values. It allows children to develop their interaction while learning respect, cooperation and how to have fun. A negative value could be them developing aggression. An example could be leisurely tennis. #Lab2KIN11019

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@Jeanettekin110 I agree. This is not what we always want but unfortunately there are kids that impose their dominance.

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@tanisarty Yes, If one becomes frustrated with the others rules or how they play, they may get upset. By doing so, this could lead to aggressive behaviour. Without adult supervision the other peers may not know what to do.

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@KBitschy They should definitely try to develop their aggression skills somehow! I’m not sure if informal participation would be the best though. With no adult supervision, they may still try to influence other kids with more aggressive, violent voices or actions.

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@daniel_adams321 @KIN110UofR I agree that it is always nice to express yourself without having the worry of messing up! Do you think some kids still have a worry of not being good? Even if it is with their friends?

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@LucaFiorito1 Although there are many positive benefits to informal sport, do you think there are and cons? Is there and teams that you can recall where there may have been disagreements or arguments?

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@CarlyShamray Do you think that there are any cons to informal sport?

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@BrendanHerk Although there are many positive benefits from informal sports, a negative one could also be considered cheating. Although most of the time it is just a friendly game, most kids still want to win and if that means cheating, then they might just do that.

[Evan Goodfellow @evan_goodfellow]

@ColeHof80294266 @BrendanHerk You could say it comes from formal sport but if a kid isn’t properly taught how to be a good loser, they may still develop aggression to their opponents. All kids want to win but not everyone can. I know my friends and I were always competitive even in street hockey for example.
