Who is suitable for New Emerging Sports?

Most new emerging sports are suitable for people of all ages, including both genders and individuals with disabilities. For example, the popular North American sport of archery uses specially made foam-tipped arrows, allowing even three-or four-year-old to enjoy archery while training their focus. Additionally, the sports of "softball", which combines elements of tai chi, tennis, and badminton, helps improve hand-eye coordination, rhythm, and flexibility, making it particularly suitable for seniors.

Thus, students of any age can participate in new emerging sports, which not only increases opportunities for social interaction but also enhances students' interpersonal skills.
