What is it?
Sport is one of the most widely varied recreational pursuits ever. It includes world famous sports such as Football, Rugby, Tennis and Cricket though to many more unusual types you may never have heard of - watersports have been classified separately to this listing.
What does it involve?
Sport usually involves physical movement and the aim of achieving a goal, and can be played as part of a competition, for pleasure or for exercising. Special equipment is usually part of sport, with the most common element being a ball.
Why do it and what are the benefits?
Practicing sport is one of the best ways to exercise, as it allows you to have fun whilst doing so! It's also a great way of building self-confidence and bonds within a group, and can actually help prevent stress related illnesses.
What equipment do we need?
A lot of sport requires specialist equipment, but most of it is reasonably cheap and will allow you to practice sport within your own grounds! However, there are many sports that require visiting somewhere more specialist, and these places will provide the equipment for you; for example, indoor skydiving will mean a trip to the provider, but will be an unforgettable experience!
Who is it suitable for?
Sport can be suitable for any ages as long as it's practiced correctly!
Costs?
The costs of practicing sport can vary from completely free to reasonably expensive - some types of sport require careful instruction from qualified tutors and a lot of specialist equipment! Choose carefully depending on your budget.
Issues/Things to think about? (unsuitable for age groups, medical conditions etc)
Younger children may not enjoy some sports such as others! More physically demanding activities such as boxing or wrestling may not be suitable for smaller children - be aware of the needs of the group!
How do we include?
Disability in sport has become extremely well catered for, so there is guaranteed to be something everyone in your student body can join in with.
Doing it abroad?
Sport is practiced all over the world, so definitely make sure you research what is popular locally! There will be many sports practiced widely abroad that aren't so popular in the UK, so a trip abroad may be the only chance for some people to have a go!
