Games and Sports Overview

overview

Games stimulate physical growth, promote friendship and are a source of mental recreation in young children, providing a sense of well-being and fulfilment. They promote the development of motor skills and further hand-eye coordination allowing for participants to master difficult skills associated with particular sports.

Sports have both recreational and competitive value. They help de-stress students who are usually engaged in challenging academic pursuits requiring great mental effort often leading to exhaustion. Games help recharge the system and enable students to maintain equilibrium of mind and body so essential to overall health.
