What Are The Benefits of Sports in Schools?
AD | this is a collaborative post, thank you for supporting the posts which make this post possible.
For most children their first exposure to sports and physical education is through their time at school. They’ll also often experience a range of different sports to allow them to discover which sports are right for them and which they find not so enjoyable.
Sports are hugely beneficial in schools that help children in their own general physical performance and in their studies, analytical thinking and more. This is why we’ve teamed up with a nursery in Somerset to show you the biggest benefits to sports in schools.
Transferable skills
One of the greatest benefits to sports in schools is using the skills you’ve learnt in your classroom lessons in sports and other physical activities. Sports rely on teamwork, critical thinking and decision making at spontaneous moments that keep children going on the spot. They’re learning about tactics and motives of other players, how to reach a position and use their own skills to reach a goal, all of which can be used in a number of different situations.
Keeps kids fit and healthy
We should be promoting our children to remain healthy where they can throughout their lives. A healthy diet also contributes to this. Sports and taking part in any physical activity gets your child’s blood pumping and contributes towards muscle strength, improving their stamina and entices them to carry on playing sports to get better and stronger.
Improves your mental performance
Sports increases your endorphins which allows your body to combat stresses and worries we all have, regardless of age. Sports in schools allows children to have the chance to unwind after a hard few hours of studying and realigns their focus. Doing physical activity on a regular basis also allows your child to have a better routine and an improved sleeping pattern.
