Dinesh Kamath's Editorial 'Promoting young footballers is a good job by NMMC' that was published in In New Bombay'


Promoting young footballers is a good job by NMMC
The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) sports department in order to promote the young and underprivileged footballers from NMMC schools has come up with the initiative where they have selected a 30 members’ team from the primary section in order to represent the Navi Mumbai football and they are also in the process to form the football association.
This is indeed a very good move by NMMC. Football is an affordable game and also it is one of the most popular sports in the world. Cricket on the other hand is an expensive game and those children who can’t afford to play cricket should be made to try football since in this sports, one can excel to any extent and that too by hardly spending any money.
Participating in football—like any sport—provides many health benefits for children. It's a physically demanding game that provides an opportunity for players to improve their speed, agility, strength, hand-eye coordination and overall cardiovascular endurance.
Not only does football provide great health benefits, both mental and physical, it also promotes camaraderie, teamwork, discipline, and work ethic that will help shape our children into well-rounded adults.
Football enhances team skills and teamwork. To play football, you need a good team around you and playing regularly will help children develop their skills and work with their team successfully. They'll learn to play together and from their experiences, work out how they can be most effective as a collective unit.
The combination of running, walking, sprinting and kicking can bring benefits including increased stamina, improved cardiovascular health, reduced body fat, improved muscle strength and tone, increased bone strength and improved coordination
The constant walking, jogging and running helps keep the players' heart rates up, providing excellent cardiovascular exercise. This game lowers body fat and improves muscle tone. Soccer is a great sport for burning fat because it works the muscles and your heart in different ways.
There are no words to commend NMMC for the steps it has taken to promote football among poor and underprivileged ones. Keep it up, NMMC!
