Have you ever thought of letting your little ones participate in any sports or activities? Well, maybe it’s time for you to consider them joining into one! If you have no idea what sports they should participate in, perhaps there are some sports you can consider:

  1. Ballet

We don’t really consider ballet as a sport but as an art form. It is a form created by the human body. Ballet is a highly technical form of dance which comes with vocabularies based on French terminologies. This beautiful art form is defined as the foundation of all other dance genres and techniques. Ballet comes in many styles, they are:

Classical Ballet

Classical ballet is usually what comes through people’s mind when they hear about the word ballet. Classical ballet is typically graceful with turn-out of the legs and pointe work. It requires the right balance and proper body symmetry. This style emphases on story ballets and narrative.

Neo-Classical Ballet

The Neo-classical ballet was introduced in the 20th century. This style emphasises in speed, energy and attack. It is a manipulation of the classical form, and is asymmetry and has an off-balance feel. It is non-narrative and is often a one-act ballet.

Contemporary Ballet

Contemporary ballet is influenced by modern dance. This style requires more floor work, turn in of legs, a greater range of movements and body lines.

Ice skating is a sport where ice skaters wear steel bladed shoes and slide over a smooth surface of the ice. Although most people ice-skate for fun, but form and speed is a highly competitive international sport.

Swimming can help your little one focus on development by improving his swimming ability. This is one of the fun sports for kids that will keep themselves physically active and entertained.

Basketball only needs basic moves like quick passes, and this will improve your child’s hand and eye coordination. Basketball is also the least dangerous of all the sports. The worst that can happen is occasionally pulled hamstrings.

Sports help your kids stay fit and healthy, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally.
