<![CDATA[Sports play a crucial role in supporting early childhood development, including physical, cognitive, and socio-emotional growth.

This article aims to identify the factors influencing children's participation in sports and develop strategies to enhance their involvement. The method used is a literature review of various studies related to child development, the benefits of sports, and factors supporting early childhood sports participation. The findings indicate that interest, motivation, parental support, environment, and the availability of facilities are key factors influencing participation.
