It's great if an Olympian grows out of crumbs. But at three, five and even ten years, such predictions are too early. However, even if the kid does not win medals, playing sports or at least physical education is indispensable for harmonious development. The first question parents ask themselves is: which sport to choose? Often, decisions are influenced by their own unrealized dreams. And so Dad buys his son's hockey ammunition and leads him to the ice palace. And my mother sends her daughter to the gym. Well, if the baby likes the choice of parents. And if not? You can not force a child to play sports. The main rule: training should be fun. Only then will they benefit. Watch the baby and you will understand what he likes. Yes, it may be necessary to go to more than one sports school, talk with coaches, with the parents of other children. But after two or three lessons the reaction of the baby is usually already manifested, and it becomes clear whether this sport suits him or not.
On health!
In addition to the preferences of the child when choosing a sports section, it is necessary to take into account other factors.
- Health status
In any section you will necessarily require a certificate from the polyclinic. And the recommendations of doctors should not be neglected. There are sports that are contraindicated for children with certain diseases. So, with serious problems with sight, you can not deal with contact types: football, basketball, volleyball. Jumps, jerks, falls and sharp turns only exacerbate the disease. But swimming or skiing in this case does not hurt at all.
- Natural data
Here, in general, too, everything is clear. Not enough flexible child, for example, it will be difficult to achieve success in gymnastics or figure skating. It is better for him to choose another sport where this quality is not so important. However, in groups of initial physical training usually accept all comers. So, if you do not set far-reaching goals, you can ignore the lack of suitable data. Let the kid go to trainings for the sake of health, and not for medals.
- Psychological features of the child
The surest way to find out what kind of sport a crumb has an inclination is to contact a sports psychologist who will test the baby. One can use team sports, another - individual, the third - martial arts.
- The opinion of the coach
They say that an experienced eye can determine the potential of the child in the first class. Although history knows many examples, when future stars in childhood were recorded in "unpromising."
Better before
In recent years, groups for beginners have significantly grown younger. So, if thirty years ago it was difficult to coordinate sports - sports dances, gymnastics, figure skating, synchronized swimming - started to be engaged in the age of ten, now sports schools accept and four-year-olds. The fact that exercises are becoming more difficult, require more flexibility, and it is easier to develop at an early age. It is important to get to an experienced trainer, who doses the load and builds a job taking into account the age of the children. Then the result will not disappoint: the child will grow stronger, become less sick, and for physical development will noticeably outstrip peers. And the chances of achieving outstanding sporting successes in this case are increasing. But the rule "the sooner, the better" is not always applicable.If you are going to practice some sports, it is physically and morally, because if the boy starts raising the bar at the age of seven, it will not lead to anything good. in the hands of a preschooler and an air rifle - the consequences can be the most sad.
The choice is!
Give the child to the Youth Sports School. Sports School or section in the nearest sports club? The answer to this question again depends on long-term goals. Of course, sports schools are a higher status and more qualified specialists. But champions usually prepare institutions with big names. There are not so many of them. For example, only a few sports schools can boast of famous graduates-figure skaters. And parents do not accidentally try to send small football players to schools with famous football clubs. But in such places, firstly, it's not so easy to get into - screening is already at the selection stage. And secondly, you need to be prepared for the fact that sports will become a matter of life. And not only the life of a child. While the baby is small, it will have to be taken to training: first - two to three times a week, and in time - five to six. And financial costs can not be avoided. Classes in sports schools are usually free, but in most cases you have to buy the form yourself. Participation in competitions is also often paid. And no one guarantees the Olympic medals. Sometimes parents for the sake of sports future crumbs are ready to make great sacrifices. And of course, they want to get a return. Such children simply do not have the opportunity to show their desires. So try to ask yourself the question: "For whom am I doing this?" And do not hurry up with the answer.There are very few champions, and it is always a set of long-term efforts of an athlete, coaches, parents, doctors, psychologist. There is no ordinary sports section here, unlike the sports school, neither children nor the coaches of great goals are put in. If the child has the ability, they will be noticed, and do not forget that the main thing for the child is the personality of the trainer. , but it's not just that he has to teach the child the technique of his sport, but not only that the main motivation for studying is interest in young children. A good coach can constantly support this interest, so the crumbs come to him with joy.
