Forty million children play organized sports. Viewers of "Kids and Sports" will see children from toddlers through puberty illustrate just how fun or frustrating playing sports can be.
They watch as physical, social and emotional development follow a sequence that adults can't speed up. They see just how skills in sports progress from birth through puberty. They marvel at the intellectual side of sports - from score keeping to game strategizing.
