ACTIVITIES DETAILS
Acrobatic Gymnastics
Acrobatic gymnastics is a gymnastic discipline where partnerships of gymnasts work together and perform figures consisting of gymnastic skills moves, dance with, set to music.
There are three types of routines:
- a ‘balance’ routine where the focus is on strength and flexibility,
- a ‘dynamic’ routine which includes throws, somersaults and catches,
- a ‘combined’ routine which includes elements from both balance and dynamic.
Acrobatic gymnastics perform in pairs or groups (male and female) combining gymnastics elements and skills into fun, team based environment providing a great platform for building balance, coordination, strength and teamwork.
Yoga for kids
Yoga classes for children is a great way to finish the day after long hours at school.
Yoga class in a school environment can include:
- physical postures to improve strength, flexibility, balance and coordination
- an introductory discussion about well-being,
- a mindfulness practice to bring awareness to the current state of the body, mind and breath,
- games to provide opportunities for social interaction and creativity,
- story-telling to engage the imagination and provide context and meaning to the practice,
- breathing techniques to improve lung capacity and calm the body and mind,
- relaxation to introduce students to meditation.
It can help participants to build confidence and deal with issues caused by the demands and pressure of daily life and provide valuable tools to assist children in navigating their individual growth and development into adulthood.

WHY BASKETBALL FOR OUR KIDS
- Playing basketball at a young age teaches kids what it means to be a good team player. As an interactive, social sport, kids learn to communicate with one another and strive towards a common goal together.
- Through both winning and losing a game of basketball, kids are taught what good sportsmanship looks like, and how to be respectful to opponents. There will be instances in their life when they must compete with other people and playing team sports allows kids to understand the importance of humility.
- During a game of basketball essential motor skills are continuously used. Playing requires balance, endurance and coordination, and kids can learn how their body moves. The more active kids are, the more resilient they will psychically be. It also teaches them about injury prevention through training warming up, stretching and cooling down.
- As a very social sport, playing basketball helps kids develop their communication and social skills. They learn how to talk to others, make new friends and it gives them an understanding of the different abilities of other people.
- Most importantly through playing basketball kids learn that being active is fun. This lesson is crucial to their physical, mental and emotional health and the earlier they associate exercise with enjoyment, they are more likely to remain active throughout their life.
