Growing up he always balanced his academics with his love for basketball and to this day he still plays sports in his spare time and sponsors youth athletic teams.

Dr. Sharma is a big advocate for kids playing sports and knows first-hand how beneficial the experience can be. Not only is it a great way to stay in shape and get moving, sports encourage teamwork and discipline. Whatever your sport of choice, there’s something for everyone in the Surrey area. To help you find your next team, Aura Orthodontics has compiled a guide to sports for kids in Surrey BC.
