Abstract
UNIVERSITY, Miss. -- Playing team sports teaches kids valuable lessons in life. Yet, many give up school and community athletic involvement by the time they're teenagers because it's no longer fun. In fact, some studies reveal that approximately 70 percent of all youngsters drop out of organized sports by the time they are 13, according to Dr. Jim Gilbert, associate professor and coordinator of Leisure Management Programs at The University of Mississippi.
