The Fox Valley Park District has partnered with six schools throughout Aurora and North Aurora to offer its traditionally popular Sports Saturdays program beginning from Jan. 9.

Free to families with children in Grades 1 through 5, Sports Saturdays provide a safe environment for children to participate in activities that include sports, crafts and general fitness. “Sports Saturdays are an opportunity for kids to get out of the house and do what they love most—play! Park District instructors are on hand to teach and assist,” said manager Rafael Martinez, who oversees the program. “They’ll get a chance to take part in different sports, and it also gives parents a couple hours of free time while their kids are enjoying themselves in a safe setting.”

Sports Saturdays are run at six different primary schools around the area. The program runs for eight Saturdays through Feb. 27. Children can participate in the activities at any school, and even visit a different school each week.

In 2004, a young man died after playing online games almost nonstop for 86 hours. A 12-year-old boy stole $16,000 from his father to continue online games which he could not get away from. Such problems are spreading to other parts of Asia as well. In 2005, it was reported that about 80 percent of China’s 13.8 million online game players were under 25. And many of these were said to be addicted(上瘾). Such numbers point toward a growing problem among Chinese youth.

Dr. Sue – Huei Chen, a psychologist, discovered some signs of at-risk people. Such people often go online to escape from their problems. And they usually have no friendship or good social skills.
