FAIRFIELD COUNTY - Daniel Dodd is a busy kid. The Baltimore fifth-grader plays football, basketball, baseball, soccer and golf.
But to hear Daniel, 11, tell it, he loves the constant activity. They're just really fun to do, and sports kinda keep you out of trouble," Daniel said. It's not uncommon for kids involved in youth sports to divide their focus not just between two sports, but among three or four and sometimes even more.
Youth sports offers children a unique opportunity to experience a number of different athletic endeavors in the interest of just having fun.
"You can go around and try to get people involved in it so your team gets bigger and bigger and hopefully gets better and better," Daniel said.
