Is it important for young people to play sports?

I think it is important for young people to play sports. This is because sports is good for people's health. When I was child, I didn't play sports. So, I tended to be sick. In addition, recent studies have shown children play sports are more healthier than people who don't. And sports may give people opportunities to make friends. Generally, sports need a good amount of people to play. So, if children play sports with other people, they would become friends. Friends make children's life more fun and more active. Thus, I would like to suggest that playing sports is important for young people.
