School day physical activity, PE, and sport contribute to the development of the whole child in several ways (e.g. health, physical and emotional wellbeing, cognitive and social development). Sport in the school environment can be a positive influence on lifelong participation in sport and physical activity.
Mentally sport improves your mood and concentration, boosts your self confidence and can reduce depression and anxiety. For children, the benefits of sport are even greater. Start them young for a healthy life. Children learn vital skills when they play sport, particularly in a team for a club.
You can:
- Have a positive attitude.
- Give your best effort.
- Shake hands with the other team before and after the game.
- Support teammates by saying "good shot" or "good try." Never criticize a teammate for trying.
- Accept calls and don't argue with officials.
- Treat the other team with respect and never tease or bully.
The Council of Europe charter on sport uses the following definition: "Sport means all forms of physical activity, which through casual or organised participation, aim at expressing or improving physical fitness and mental well-being, forming social relationships or obtaining results in competition at all levels".
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.
Physical education provides cognitive content and instruction designed to develop motor skills, knowledge, and behaviors for physical activity and physical fitness. Supporting schools to establish physical education daily can provide students with the ability and confidence to be physically active for a lifetime.
Physical education (PE) is a compulsory part of the curriculum for all pupils at every Key Stage, from age four to 16. The minimum content for each Key Stage is as follows: Foundation and Key Stage 1 - athletics, dance, games, and gymnastics.
On Monday, Federal Sports Minister, Bridget McKenzie, said state governments should make sports and physical literacy compulsory in schools. “If you're physically literate, and all that means is you have the confidence and motivation to be active, you're actually going to do better academically,” she said.
