Sports
are a crucial part of a student’s growth and development. They help
in the development of mental health and physical fitness of the
body. Through participation in sports and games, a student gains
various skills, experience and confidence that are helpful for
developing their personality.
At
Jain Heritage School, the best CBSE School in Bangalore, sports is
an important part of the curriculum. The school is well equipped
with multi-sporting facilities that include cricket, tennis,
basketball, volleyball and other indoor games. The school not only
aims to improve a student's physical abilities but also instill a
sense of good sportsmanship in them.
Given
below are the reasons why sports and games are essential in a
student’s life:
Improves physical and mental health - One of the main
benefits of sports and games is to boost the physical and mental
health of a student. Sports is played between teams in a healthy competitive
environment which ensures that the student remains active and fit.
Outdoor sports like football, cricket, tennis, swimming, running,
etc. keeps the body and mind active and engaged. Indoor games like
chess, badminton, and table tennis enhance the concentration level
of the student. It also strengthens the immunity system of the body
and energizes them.
Empower students with life skills - While sports not
only help in developing physical and mental health, it also
develops the life skills of a student’s personality. It enhances
their capabilities and helps them to have a better understanding of
themselves. Sports also help in developing social skills and
getting along with people. They learn to interact not only with
children of their age but also with adults like their coaches and
seniors. Additionally, children acquire decision-making skills
through various team activities.
Learn time management and discipline - Constructive use
of time and discipline is a major characteristic of any
sportsperson. If a student plays a sport, he/she needs to show the
commitment of time to be in a particular place at a particular time
everyday as a part of their routine. He/she must be patient,
disciplined which will enable the student to cope with criticism
and setbacks. Each sport has a set of rules and regulations to be
followed which helps the students to stay fit and disciplined.
Improved leadership and team building qualities - Sports is all
about teamwork. Jain Heritage School encourages team sports such as
football, cricket, basketball etc. which gives an individual a
sense of identity and belonging to a group. Such sports encourage
children to showcase their talent and communicate with their team
members. It also helps to identify and hone their leadership skills
which add values to their personality.
Winning and losing is all part of the game - Sports is not
always about winning. It is about fair play and believing in
equality and justice. Losing is a part and parcel of any game and
accepting defeat in a positive competitive spirit distinguishes a
true sportsperson which propels him/her to strive harder the next
time to achieve what he/she missed out on the previous game.
Boost self-confidence - Scoring a goal,
hitting a six or winning a race not only makes a student happy but
also it boosts their confidence. Performing in front of a crowd
which is constantly noticing your each and every move can be quite
unnerving. But a sportsperson is one with focus, patience, the
right amount of confidence having a never-say-die attitude.
Professional
training is imparted to students of Jain Heritage School who are
between the ages of 6-14 years. This includes three and a half
hours of specialized sports training in Athletics, Basketball,
Badminton, Snooker/Billiards, Cricket, Tennis, Table Tennis,
Football and Swimming.
An
exclusive academic program with flexible timings is designed to
meet the needs of students. Training programs are designed by
international/national coaches who visit the school regularly and
monitor the progress of the students. Our students enjoy their
round of sports at the state-of-the-art sports complex known as
"KREEDA". All the above reasons show how sport and games
are an integral part of the education system and must be
incorporated in every school.
