Our Approach
Sports Activities
The benefits & science
Sports can provide excellent educational opportunities for social development because many of the social and moral requirements for participation in sports are parallels to how individuals must function in a law-abiding society. There is common agreement that sports programs for children and youth can enhance motoric, physical and social growth.”
Seefeldt, Vern D.; Ewing, Martha E.(1997)
Research indicates that sports participation can promote healthy mental and physical development.
Sports participation:
- Builds an appreciation of personal health and fitness
- Develops a positive self-image and self-esteem
- Teaches how to work as part of a team
- Develops social skills with other children and adults such as taking turns and sharing playing time)
- Teaches how to manage both success and disappointment
- Teaches how to respect others
We implement this through various approaches such as outward bound activity based breaks, charitable sport event participation, and Duke of Edinburgh Awards.
