Importance of sports in school



Introduction

In the 21st century, we are well aware that kids these days are more inclined towards computers, video games and television-in short, the virtual world. Unlike older generations, who had valued the importance of nature and the outdoors, kids these days are also burdened with a lot of academic pressure. The result is that, we have inactive kids who grow up to be mostly, unhealthy and unfit.

Therefore, schools in the present time should focus equally on sports and outdoor activities as much as on academics. It is true that not everyone is interested in sports, nor does everyone become a Dhoni or Sania Mirza, but sports have much more to offer than just a career. If children are encouraged to play some kind of outdoor sport in their school, chances are that they are more likely to be active and will stay active for the rest of their life. Sports enhance the physical and social skills of youngsters, besides providing a change from the monotony of their daily life. Also, it is a proven fact that sports enhances the mental and physical growth in children. It helps them in character building and provides them energy and strength. Regular outdoor activities eliminate unhealthy habits of the children and CREATE immunity shields from diseases. Needless to say, when the students are physically fit, they will achieve more academically. Sports develop a sense of friendliness among the children and develop their team spirit.

Benefits of sports

The main objective of sports is mainly to stay fit and encourage leadership, team play and discipline. In today's competitive world student needs to stay fit by involving themselves in various types of sports. These sports help to lower the stress level of students and also help them to focus in their studies. An unhealthy student is always sad, gloomy and therefore loses confidence in him. To keep healthy, one must take an active interest in sports. If one is healthy, then he/she can concentrate in their studies properly without any stress.
