However, it can be a challenge to fill those endless weeks with fun and interesting activities, and this can lead to an increase in screen time and less fresh air and exercise. Here\u2019s a look at why <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/sistersnsport.com\/coaching\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">netball lessons in Elmbridge<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> could be the perfect solution!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouraging outdoor time<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the temptations of computer games and social media, many kids don\u2019t spend a lot of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthychildren.org\/English\/family-life\/power-of-play\/Pages\/playing-outside-why-its-important-for-kids.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">time outdoors<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, even when they are not at school. However, being in the fresh air is beneficial for our mental and physical health, boosting mood, encouraging movement and topping up vitamin D levels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Netball is a great way to get out and about, whether it\u2019s in a structured environment at a local court or holiday camp, or just a hoop in the back garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Making friends and team spirit<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The summer holidays can be an isolating time for some children, particularly if they don\u2019t live near their school friends. Netball is a very inclusive sport that sparks new friendships, a sense of belonging and teamwork. This can add the enjoyment of life, as well as build confidence and self-esteem.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Learning how to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/uk.indeed.com\/career-advice\/career-development\/teamwork-skills\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">work together as a team<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a competency that is valued by employers, so playing\u00a0 netball can also nurture useful future life skills.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise without feeling like a chore<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gym routines or running aren\u2019t for everyone: even adults can struggle with the repetitiveness of a regular exercise schedule. Playing netball keeps kids active while providing constant challenge and variety, so it will never feel like a chore. It involves running, stretching, jumping: all perfect for supporting agility, strength and stamina.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> It is a challenge to fill the summer holidays with fun and positive activities.
