A variety of sports venues for summer

(QBĐT) - Summer arrives, bringing with it the long, eagerly awaited holidays for students after a school year. However, this is also a time when many parents worry about finding beneficial and healthy recreational activities for their children. How to ensure children can relax, improve their health, and develop life skills while avoiding the excessive allure of modern technology is a difficult problem to solve.

In this context, sports and life skills classes at the Provincial Children's House are becoming a popular choice for parents to send their children to during the summer. With a rich program system and content designed to suit each age group, it not only helps children have fun but also creates an ideal environment for them to develop physically, hone their character, and form positive habits.

While in previous years, sports like martial arts and mini-football were preferred choices for parents, this summer, many new sports have been introduced, expanding opportunities for students to experience them. Among them, basketball is gradually gaining popularity due to its comprehensive physical activity, suitable for the physical abilities of children aged 9-15.

Summer enrichment classes at the Provincial Children's House attract a large number of students.

According to teacher Le Ngoc Duc, practicing basketball not only helps children develop height, endurance, and flexibility, but also contributes to training many important soft skills such as teamwork, team spirit, leadership ability, and quick reflexes. These are essential foundational elements that help them form confident, capable, and proactive personalities in the face of future challenges.

Along with basketball, swimming continues to be a popular sport attracting a large number of students from the very beginning of summer. In swimming classes, besides teaching basic techniques, coaches also equip students with skills to prevent accidents in the water and handle emergencies safely. These are considered extremely important survival lessons, especially given that tragic drowning incidents involving children still occur in many localities every summer.

Phan Nguyen Anh Thu, from Dong Phu ward (Dong Hoi city), excitedly shared after participating in a swimming class: “I am very happy to learn to swim with my friends. Now I know how to swim, I feel more confident whenever I go into the water and can handle any danger.”

Beyond just strenuous physical activities, table tennis this summer has also seen a steady increase in participants, demonstrating the unique appeal of a sport that demands quick reflexes, precision, and flexible strategic thinking. With nearly 50 students registering this summer, table tennis helps them develop self-control, improve concentration, and build confidence when facing challenges.

Le Nguyen Quang Tuan, from Dong Phu ward (Dong Hoi city), said: “Every summer, my parents enroll me in a table tennis class. Through training, I feel more agile and confident, and I learn many useful skills. After learning the basics, I get to join clubs and compete in tournaments, which I find very exciting.”

Teacher Nguyen Thanh Trung, in charge of the table tennis class, said: "In addition to physical training, the table tennis classes also organize many tournaments and establish clubs to create an environment for interaction and competition, encouraging a healthy competitive spirit among the students."

Notably, in addition to diversifying sports disciplines, the Provincial Children's House has also expanded its programs to include more arts and life skills, meeting the diverse needs of students during the summer. To date, the summer program has expanded to 32 disciplines with a total of 85 classes, attracting nearly 1,500 participants since the beginning of summer.

Besides the positive impact on physical fitness and skills, summer playgrounds also help students move away from passive entertainment in front of electronic screens, towards a more active and positive life. These beneficial summer activities not only provide children with a fun and healthy summer but also play a crucial role in building a dynamic, confident generation, ready to enter the new school year.

According to Le Hung Ninh, Deputy Director of the Provincial Children's House: "We continue to mobilize social resources to invest in facilities and add more modern teaching equipment. In addition to traditional subjects such as swimming, football, badminton, and aerobics, the summer program also includes vocal music, musical instruments, and junior chefs... giving students more diverse choices according to their interests and talents."

In addition, the teaching and coaching staff has been reviewed and strengthened; the majority are highly qualified, dedicated, experienced in teaching and possess strong pedagogical skills, ensuring stable training quality and providing peace of mind for parents when sending their children to participate in summer activities at the Provincial Children's House.”

In reality, summer classes at the Provincial Children's House are becoming an ideal environment where students not only develop comprehensively in terms of physical health but also acquire life skills, cultivate teamwork, enhance independence, and improve their ability to adapt to life.

Through each lesson and each training session, the children gradually develop a habit of moderate exercise, cultivate discipline, a sense of effort, and learn to share and cooperate with their friends.
