I’m not just talking about the fitness angle which is obviously important. It’s just that so many things in life require being able to function as part of a group, often in a competitive environment. Those that learn how to do that effectively will have a lot of opportunities available to them.
Team sports like basketball and volleyball are low cost and don’t require hovering parents.

One thing you missed is team sports lets you learn to work with and appreciate (in some cases) those people you don't necessarily like. I mean there are lots of people I work with that think I like them.
