Engaging Kids

Sports Zone

 

The Sports Zone is One Life Movement’s Recreational Program which is designed to help children stay fit and improve their critical thinking and decision making skills. We want to give underprivileged children from our learning centers the exposure and quality training given to good athletes. In March, 2021, we launched the first installment of our Sports Zone with football (soccer) coaching at our Bandra (West) location in Mumbai. We started with 25 children who are full of energy and eager to learn how to play the sport! The Sports Zone looks forward to branching out into many other sports in the months to come.

Scientifically, it has been proven that kids from the ages of 6 to 17 need at least 1 hour of physical exercise to be fit and healthy. While playing sports is good for a child’s physical health, it will also enhance their mental abilities. So, as a result of our sports program, students will also begin to improve in their academic work. Not only that, but physical fitness greatly contributes to mental well-being, which is an essential aspect of a child’s holistic development.

Our vision for the Sports Zone is that it will evolve into a training ground for young, budding athletes. Children from low-income backgrounds are often overlooked during high profile trials and have to work harder than the average player to make a name for themselves. We want to be a stepping stone to success for any child who dares to dream big and wants to be a successful athlete.
