One advantage to intramural programs is that
a. it has significantly less risk of the child becoming injured in the process of participation.
b. there is more variance in the ages that children might play with, giving them access to older peers who can help younger children improve their athletic skills.
c. students who are not as skilled or motivated to participate in competitive sports can get some physical activity while having fun.
d. intramural programs tend to be more intense and competitive, encouraging the participants to be more physically fit.
