1) primray school kids do not need football pitches the same size as adults

2) Dunno

3) Inner city schools cannot afford the luxury of large grass pitches. Hence they opt for all weather hockey pitches and the like.
The school budget is taken up with special needs pupils.
Lack of participation by teachers

4) A school in belfast has to play hockey. They used to play camogie, but locals planted glass on the pitch.
Very few schools in Norway offer beach volleyball as a pastime.

5) Peer pressure and the need to fit in

1) If the participants are 'veterans' then it may be prudent to provide cardiac resuscitation equipment and train staff in it's use.
2) Dunno, but you will probably find the answer here
3) The school fields have been sold off/lack of staff/lack of funds
4) Lack of indoor facilities will hinder indoor sports (and vica versa)/lack of formal sports facilities will promote activities such as cross country running as opposed to basketball.
5)Peer pressure/ parental pressure will shape a childs interests/parents may withold funding for certain sports kit if they aren't interested in it

1: younger people are not the same physical ability as adults, but have a lot of energy, so thte sport/games you play is beneficial for fitness of the children
2: because it shows disabled people that you can be disabled and still play sports and keep fit, and more importantly have fun.
3:Money, Facilities (as in ground area, and games halls), and the fact the most parents want their child intelligent and not playing games all the time.
4: well playing football on a bobbly/sloppy surface is not benificial to children as this can cause harm, there fore can make the child go off the sporting activity. if it is an outside sport there is less chance of getting the majority of kids to perform as they just want to be inside.
5: because of peer pressure, some parents want their children to grow up and play the sports they want them to play, like swimming clubs, football club or chess club, instead of giving the childrent ample opertunity to try all sorts of sports to see what they like.

thats what I think
