Moreover, physical merits aside, the intervention of the sport at a community level, especially for those vulnerable to crime and other social maladies, is noteworthy.

Furthermore, tapping the umpteen perks the sport provides, a few not-for-profit organizations have taken it to people not only outside the standard age bracket, but also with varied abilities.
