The purpose of this study was to explore whether participation in games and sports has more negative than positive impacts on children's socialization. The study was delimited to 41 male subjects aged between 18 to 25 years. Data were collected through a questionnaire. Based on the obtained data, it was revealed that participation in games and sports affects children by balancing positive and negative outcomes. This study examines how sports involvement impacts children's socialization by considering various dimensions such as physical health, mental well-being, academic performance, and social skills. The findings suggest that while sports participation offers numerous benefits, significant negative aspects need to be addressed to ensure a balanced approach to children's sports engagement.
