Abstract

As the world's most popular sport, soccer holds significant relevance for today's youth. In Canada, soccer surpasses other sports in terms of children's participation, promoting physical and mental health, essential life skills, and a sense of community. This article explores the right to play and the importance of play for Canadian children's overall well-being and development. It emphasizes the responsibility of communities and governments to ensure access to safe and inclusive play environments, particularly in organized sports like soccer. The article further explores the role of coaches, the need for safe spaces, and the impact of cultural context in shaping children's development. Recommendations are proposed, including enhanced regulation of coaching and player development using a rights-based approach and the integration of children's perspectives in decision-making processes. By fostering a culture of inclusivity and prioritizing the right to play, Canada can empower its children to thrive physically, cognitively, emotionally, and socially, equipping them with essential skills for success in a rapidly changing world.
加拿大足球和比赛权
作为世界上最受欢迎的运动,足球对当代青少年具有重要意义。在加拿大,足球在儿童参与、促进身心健康、基本生活技能和社区意识方面超过了其他体育运动。本文探讨了游戏权以及游戏对加拿大儿童整体福祉和发展的重要性。文章强调社区和政府有责任确保提供安全、包容的游戏环境,尤其是在足球等有组织的体育运动中。文章进一步探讨了教练的作用、安全空间的必要性以及文化背景对儿童发展的影响。文章提出了一些建议,包括采用基于权利的方法加强对教练和球员发展的监管,以及在决策过程中纳入儿童的观点。通过培养包容文化和优先考虑游戏权,加拿大可以增强儿童在身体、认知、情感和社交方面茁壮成长的能力,使他们具备在瞬息万变的世界中取得成功的基本技能。
