FIVE SPORTS RENOVATIONS TO INSTALL IN YOUR EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
When summer holidays approach, it’s the best time to perform any School/ College/ University renovations and refurbishments. If you need to improve your sports facilities, we have compiled together some ideas that will make your sports curriculum more varied and will help improve the wellbeing of your students and staff.
A large dance studio complete with barres, full-length mirrors and an appropriate dance floor will enrich your institutions programmes. Dance has been proven to be helpful for a children’s developing motor coordination, flexibility, posture, musicality and emotional expression. What’s more, it can encourage new activities and extracurricular groups like ballet, street dance, yoga, Pilates and cheerleading.
A fully equipped gymnasium is beneficial for the health and wellbeing of students and the staff, helping to distract from anti-social behaviours, foster the skills of potential athletes and alleviate stress. Encouraging morning, lunchtime and early evening gym sessions can help students tackle the pressures of studying, develop healthy habits and encourage them to attend the facilities. Staff would benefit from relieving the stress from managing busy schedules.
Swimming pools are a great way to help strengthen swimming techniques and promote relaxation for all ages ranges and abilities. Building endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, swimming provides a full-body workout that can be both high intensity and low intensity. Hosting swimming sessions during the hot summer months can be an effective way to exercise without overheating and be used as a source of revenue for the upkeep of your facilities.
Horse riding facilities can be established in facilities with the right terrain and space. They provide your facilities with a unique selling point when attracting potential students. Horse riding has a wide range of benefits for young people and particularly those with additional needs. It has been shown to improve emotional development, strengthening core muscles and forming bonds with animals, creating an environment of trust and cooperation.
Tennis courts are a great way for students to expend energy, improve concentration and increase their general fitness levels. From being actively social with friends to a high-intensity tennis match, this can help boost the immune system and their cardiovascular fitness. It is a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages and the equipment costs are low.
