Competitive sports for children in Iran, driven by clubs' result-oriented focus, parental pressure for champion-building, and inadequate coaching standards, are accompanied by severe physical, psychological, and developmental consequences. Intense and prolonged training in certain disciplines, such as gymnastics and martial arts, increases the risk of irreversible musculoskeletal injuries, developmental disorders, and hormonal issues, while psychologically leading to burnout, depression, discouragement, and diminished motivation for education and social activities. From an educational and social perspective, the intensity of training restricts opportunities for play, joy, and peer interaction, effectively depriving children of their childhood. While international legal documents and Islamic teachings emphasize the primacy of health, enjoyment, freedom of choice, and the cessation of training in the event of pain, the absence of a children's sports rights charter, a lack of health-centered frameworks, and weak oversight of clubs and coaches have laid the groundwork for ongoing harm. Policy strategies include drafting a statement of children's rights in sports, establishing an ethical charter and standards for facilities and equipment, retraining and standardizing coaching content with the core principle of "health first, success second," utilizing safe technologies and auxiliary training tools, managing young athletes' nutrition with specialists, and conducting media culture-building and parental education to provide emotional support and avoid pressuring children.
