Games and Sports increase self-esteem and mental alertness. It teaches the children life skills like teamwork, leadership, patience and many more. In order to supplement the academic efforts of the students, the promotion of sports is also essential. Early morning the school begins with children enjoying the company of nature with plenty od sunshine and a plethora of outdoor activities such as games, sports and Yoga. So, we have introduced an array of sports activities at our school campus everyday for one hour such as: Athletics, Badminton, Football, hand Ball, Kabbadi, Kho-Kho and Volleyball which are held under the supervision of the physical Education Teacher and other teachers on duty. The students participate in inter-institutional sports and CBSE sports meets.
Here are some of the things that highlight the important role of sports in advancing education:
In developmental psychology, it has been proven that motor skills enhance the workings of the mind. For young children, their brains are being developed every time they engage themselves in physical activities.
When students join sports competitions, they are given the chance to know the world, especially if the competition is an international one. In competitions, students meet new people; thus, gaining knowledge about the culture, customs, and habits of others.
Joining sports teams encourage respect for rules, regulations, and authorities. Moreover, members of the team will learn to be more responsible and accountable if the team sets a grade requirement for each of its members; thus encouraging better academic goals for the players.
If a person is good at one thing, he will surely gain confidence in other fields. For example, a person that is good in basketball will surely be confident that he could pass his examination. Such positivity will bring them positive results.
Physical activities make people healthy and increase people’s energy. This increases the release of endorphins in the body, which makes a person happy and in a good mood. And such kind of mood is the most conducive atmosphere for learning.
