The task of every parent in the very first place is the education of a full-fledged personality. From a young age, the child should be provided with opportunities for physical activity and the useful expenditure of energy.
Is there a need for a sports section for boys?
When communicating with peers in sections and in the yard, the ability to achieve goals is manifested and developed. There are at least two reasons to attend sports sections for boys - this is physical development and the education of a sports spirit.
Physical development of the child
With the development of mankind and modern technologies we have to spend less and less physical effort on certain tasks.
Similarly, parents have less and less reason to involve their children in physical work - there is not so much of it left at home.
Statistics show that at least half of the boys preschool age have at least one chronic illness. And the child's immunity largely depends on his physical activity, and it often depends on visiting the sports section for boys.
The erudition of modern children often depends on the sufficiency of parental attention, the character is less influenced by the family, but sport develops its positive aspects. The role of parents is great in shaping a place for sports in a child's life.
Firstly, it is they who are an example for a boy, only with the suggestion of a father or mother will the son begin to do it. Secondly, it is the parents who can see the talents of their baby and determine his preferences.
Physical activity has a huge impact on the formation of the child's body. Both general and local immunity are laid in the first years of a boy's life, at the age of 7-8 the process of formation of the nervous system progresses most, and the development of musculoskeletal mass continues up to 25 years. And during this period, it will be useful to visit the sports section for boys at any time. This will ensure the health of all organs, systems of the child and bring up the endurance of the body.
Raising respect for sports
Sections for boys give them the opportunity to grow not only physically, but also psychologically.
And here it is important to understand the differences between the presence of physical education and sports in the lives of kids.
Children from a young age are characterized by playfulness, mobility, restlessness. Literally until late school age, a child needs several hours every day for active pastime - these can be yard games with children or adults, attending physical education and sports sections, active weekends. With this approach, it is likely that adulthood young men will pay attention to their physical form, from childhood understanding the role physical activity for the body.
The desire to achieve the set goals is brought up, competitions and victories are important here.
In any case, sport has a huge impact on the formation of leadership qualities, discipline and determination, team spirit and responsibility, willpower and endurance, as well as confidence in one's own strengths and abilities.
What to be guided by when choosing children's sections for boys?
Currently, parents have a huge selection of sports sections for children. Be that as it may, it should be based on the preferences of the child.
It should be noted that too large loads in childhood do not bring much benefit - at least the child will not be carried away by the chosen sport, in the worst case, it may be injured.
Consult with a trainer or physiotherapist, and also consult a doctor. It will also be useful to communicate with parents from the selected section - you can find out at what age they started classes, what difficulties arose and ways to solve them.
Age of boys for sports
- 3 years is the lowest threshold for starting sports. The use of modern techniques makes it possible for kids to join figure skating, rhythmic gymnastics, and swimming.
- Sections for a boy of 4 years old are either gymnastics, swimming. All these sports are very useful for a growing organism.
- When choosing a section for boys 5 years old, you can already think about various types martial arts. These include: judo, karate, wushu, aikido.
- When choosing a section for a boy of 6 years old, be aware that at this age you can stop at any of the sports listed above.
- From the age of 7, boys are taken to groups in sports dancing, acrobatics and table tennis.
Please note that weightlifting is absolutely contraindicated for boys under 10 years old.
It can be concluded that from the age of 6-7, boys can engage in most sports. Professionals believe that before this age, the baby's body is not yet fully grown, and the character is not yet sufficiently formed to benefit from sports.
Before reaching the “sports” age, parents should instill a love for active pastime in a child - you can teach him to ride a bike, rollerblade or skate, do exercises together in the morning, equip a sports corner at home, spend a lot of time in motion on the street with peers.
How to instill a love of sports in a child?
When choosing sports sections, it is important to take into account his desire and interests. At the same time, it is necessary to take into account whether he will need such loads in the future and how they will affect his well-being, and only then focus on the baby's inclinations.
You can take risks and choose a section that interests the baby - be that as it may, if the child categorically does not like something, you can try to play other sports. At the same time, children's interests are not yet a settled value, and they can change. After attending trial classes, parents will definitely select the best sections for boys.
Features of individual sports for kids
Attentive parents should look closely at their child as soon as he turns 3 years old - it is their observations of the character of the baby that will help to find the right sport for him.
- Team games - football, basketball, etc. are suitable for sociable kids who easily find mutual language with other children.
- Hyperactive children will be helped to direct the fountain of their energy in the right direction, as well as learn to concentrate various martial arts and
- Tennis and gymnastics will appeal to little leaders who want to achieve their goals.
- Equestrian sport is suitable for absolutely everyone, but it will help introverts to normalize their emotional and psychological state.
How character changes in sports
Keep in mind that, just as certain sports require certain qualities of character, in the same way, these qualities will be developed in the baby in order to succeed:
- Martial arts and martial arts develop coordination, flexibility, accuracy of movements and speed of reaction, self-esteem and perception of their abilities by a child.
- In team games, muscles are strengthened, classes contribute to the development of reaction, coordination, communication skills, cooperation skills and the achievement of a common result.
- Swimming develops the muscles of the body as much as possible, forms the correct posture.
- In cycling, running, mountaineering, boys develop into leadership qualities, the desire to be the first is growing.
- Figure skating, like gymnastics and dancing, promotes the development of artistry, coordination, and plasticity.
- Rhythmic or artistic gymnastics, ballet require great dedication and discipline from the baby, develop flexibility and grace.
The peculiarities of individual sports can be guided when choosing a section for boys, but still the final choice must be made taking into account the physical capabilities of the child and his interests. In addition, any section should be not only interesting, but also safe.
Any "correct" parents not only devote a lot of time to their child, but also try to develop it comprehensively. The choice of the sports section often becomes the subject of numerous discussions. After all, you want not only to develop, but also to give pleasure to the child.
- Dancing
There are many dance directions - from ballroom to rock and roll (tap and hip-hop, ballet or ballet light, tectonics, krump, breakdance, belly dance, Latin American, rock and roll, boogie-woogie and folk dances, ballroom (waltz, foxtrot, etc.)). Therefore, you and your child will be able to choose the circle whose focus you prefer.
You can send your child to a dance club at the age of 3-4 years. For children of this age, classes should be held twice a week for half an hour each. The program is simplified as much as possible for the youngest children, so classes will not bring your child unnecessary overwork or injury.
Dancing classes help to form a beautiful posture, develop plasticity and grace, train a sense of rhythm, and can even strengthen the respiratory system. That is why they are recommended for children with scoliosis or overweight.
When making a decision, consider your financial capabilities. Having sent a child to the world of professional dance, you need to periodically spend money on special shoes and concert costumes.
We read about which dances to give the girl
How to choose a dance school? Benefits of dancing for girls The best age to start classes. Which dance to choose for your daughter?
- Gymnastics
There are two types of gymnastics - artistic and sports. Girls will like the first one more, because it teaches them to gracefully handle the ribbon, ball and hoop. Artistic gymnastics involves exercises on rings, parallel bars, a trampoline or a rope, and therefore is more suitable for boys.
Children can do gymnastics from the age of 3-4. For many, it will become native, because at this age the child's body has not yet lost its natural flexibility.
Gymnastics, like dancing, develops flexibility and grace. In addition, in the process of training, all muscle groups work, which will positively affect further sports achievements (gymnastics, excellent foundation for other sports in the future). Gymnastics is recommended for children with problems with the spine.
For all positive qualities there is a risk of injury in such classes, especially for gymnastics. The pedagogical staff is also a problem - it is extremely difficult to find a really competent teacher.
- Trampolining
Such sports entertainment is not only an exciting pastime, but also a useful activity for the entire child's body.
There are no age restrictions here. A child can be allowed to jump on a trampoline from the time he has become confident on his feet.
Jumping on a trampoline contributes to the development of muscles of all groups, including those in the respiratory system of the body. In addition, they develop coordination of movements and, as a result, help improve the activity of the circulatory system and the gastrointestinal tract.
If you choose the wrong trampoline, you will increase the risk of injury to the child. Therefore, try to choose the one that will match the age of the child.
Reading:
- Figure skating
This sport can be safely called the leader in the injury rating, despite all the beauty. It is suitable for those kids who are not afraid to fall.
It is recommended to start figure skating at the age of 3-4 years. It is at this age that children get used to ice best and begin to feel it in the literal sense of the word. You need to do no more than twice a week for up to an hour (each lesson).
Figure skating will help your child strengthen the immune system and serve as a good prevention of colds. With constant training - develops endurance, artistry and flexibility.
The main disadvantage is injury. But it can be avoided by studying with an experienced trainer who is able not only to teach the baby the basics of this matter, but will also take into account the individual characteristics of your child's body.
- A bike
Here we mean a full-fledged "transport", and not some kind of bicycle stroller.
You can start teaching your child to ride a bike at the age of two. At this age, the child still cannot fully maintain balance, so we choose for him a 3-wheeled bicycle, which, in terms of its overall dimensions, will be completely suitable for the child. You can switch to a 2-wheeled version at about 4 years old, when the baby will already become a real racer on his iron friend.
There are many benefits to this pastime. Cycling not only develops the vestibular apparatus, develops a quick reaction and increases overall endurance, but also develops leg muscles, strengthens the heart muscle and is able to normalize metabolism.
With the right “transport”, there are no disadvantages for such an activity.
May be of interest:
- Roller Skates
If you decide to introduce your child to videos, do not neglect the elementary safety rules. Purchase the appropriate equipment, which is often included with inline skates.
You can teach kids to roller skate from the age of 4. At an earlier age, you run the risk of "earning" the wrong formation of the foot. The main thing here is not to force, the duration of classes should be adjusted by the child himself. When you show excessive perseverance, you only discourage the desire to practice.
Roller skating promotes good coordination of movements and develops speed of reaction. With regular exercise, all muscle groups develop.
The main disadvantage is injuries, which can be avoided by purchasing all the necessary protective equipment.
A child on roller skates at 3 years old - downhill:
- Swimming
The aquatic environment is close to any person from the moment of intrauterine development, which is why swimming can be called one of the most beneficial species sports.
You can teach your baby to stay on the water from the first weeks of life. It is desirable that the classes are conducted not by parents, but by specialists. It is they who will be able to teach your child the correct breathing and body position.
This sport is recommended for children with problems such as scoliosis and obesity. But in addition to affecting the skeletal system of the body, swimming can strengthen the immune system and the cardiovascular system. Swimming develops all muscle groups. In the process of training, the body learns to adapt to temperature changes, physical and emotional relaxation sets in, and has a hardening effect.
- Martial arts
The following sections are most popular: karate, judo, wushu, sambo, boxing.
At the age of 4, children are taught only the basics of the chosen technique. The training is based on stretching exercises and general muscle strengthening. It is recommended to start full-fledged martial arts lessons no earlier than from the age of 12.
In addition to strengthening the body and general physical development Oriental martial arts techniques are aimed at establishing proper breathing, defense techniques, teaches discipline, develops the accuracy of movements, coordination, agility and flexibility. In the process of classes, the child not only heals physically, but also receives an emotional discharge.
The only disadvantage of such classes is the possible injury.
- Skis
Now this sport is gaining more and more popularity. And no wonder - skiing is a pleasure not only for children, but also for all other family members.
You can introduce your baby to cross-country skiing at the age of 3-4 years, but with mountain skiing, be patient up to five. Having fallen in love with skis at this age, the child can be “friends” with them all his life.
Skiing is a great workout for the muscles of the back, legs and abs, develops agility and coordination. Yes and in itself stay on fresh air will only benefit.
Skiing is contraindicated only for orthopedic diseases and asthma.
Children on skis, child 4 years old:
- Tennis
Tennis is the most difficult sport, because endurance is needed already in the first lessons.
It is desirable to accustom children to tennis at the age of 5. At a more tender age, the child does not yet have the necessary abilities, and the load of training is still unbearable for him.
Playing tennis trains mindfulness in a child and teaches them to accept right decisions. Logical thinking also develops, which helps to predict the opponent's actions.
There are practically no minuses in this sport and injuries are minimal.
When choosing any section, it is important to give Special attention teaching staff. First of all, you should look for a good coach, not a prestigious school. And be sure to take into account the opinion of the child, he should go there with pleasure.
Also, before choosing the type of activity, it is advisable to consult with a pediatrician. Perhaps your crumbs have some contraindications for certain sports.
The child is still too young to expect any grandiose results from him. Just introduce him to the sport, and what will be his choice in the future - time will tell.
