Studies have proven that school club activities are important to both the physical and mental
development of children. In sports clubs, kids play sports regularly, and under the guidance of their
coaches, they improve their physical health. Moreover, children mix with friends from different
classes in a new environment where they can learn, share and appreciate each other. Also, when they
work with new friends in a club, they will become more confident and independent. Furthermore,
when children work together in a team to deal with a problem or to do tasks, they have to work
together to think about what they should do to complete the task. Therefore, they can learn research
and leadership skills. Many kids also find good role models in clubs, such as coaches or group
leaders.
