Yes, absolutely no doubt. The lessons and friends that can come from sports are lifelong, even at a young age. My 4 year old son plays every sport that the local YMCA offers, thus far it's been tee-ball and soccer. Basketball starts in November. To him, it's more just going and playing with other kids, he really enjoys it. We spend a lot of time at home playing in the yard, it's great father-son time. It also made him the best hitter on his tee-ball team (I know he's 4, but I'm still proud  ).
Not to mention, what else would he be doing with his time? Watching TV? Playing video games? Getting fat? I think we would have a lot less problems with modern kids if their parents encouraged sports.
