Sports are a means to empower the youth by putting their energies to constructive use. The more the fields are a buzz with sports activities for youth, the less the chances of their being brainwashed by the extremist propaganda. Sports are essential for the development of any society, as they not only provide recreation to the general public, but also help encourage qualities of discipline, physical fitness, and exploitation as well as utilization of abilities of the youth.
