Extracurricular Activities
Basketball
As well as being an exciting and fun sport, basketball has numerous benefits that go far beyond the court.
In partnership with the NBA Basketball School, we offer our students from Juniors to High School the opportunity to experience the benefits that basketball can bring.
First of all, basketball helps with physical development, promoting motor coordination, agility, endurance and strength. But its benefits don’t stop there! It also teaches essential values such as teamwork, respect for the rules, discipline and perseverance. Each game is an opportunity to learn how to deal with victories and defeats in a healthy and constructive way.
In addition, playing basketball at school encourages socialization, helping students to develop friendships and learn to collaborate with colleagues from different backgrounds. This contributes to the formation of more aware, responsible and confident citizens.
Finally, sport is an excellent tool for promoting mental health and well-being, combating stress and boosting self-confidence. When schools invest in basketball, they are investing in the all-round growth of their students, preparing them for life’s challenges with more balance and enthusiasm.
Swimming Class
Have you ever thought about how swimming can transform students’ lives? As well as being a fun and refreshing activity, swimming at school has numerous benefits that go far beyond the water.
Firstly, it is an excellent way of promoting physical health. Regular practice helps muscle development, improves cardiovascular endurance and contributes to weight control. Swimming is also a low-impact activity, ideal for all ages, including growing children.
Another important point is safety. Learning to swim is fundamental to preventing aquatic accidents, which can teach students to work as a team, respect their colleagues and overcome challenges. This experience contributes to the formation of important values such as discipline, perseverance and self-confidence.
Finally, swimming at school encourages a healthier and more active lifestyle, which can remain with students throughout their lives. After all, learning to swim is a skill that opens doors to many recreational and sporting activities, promoting well-being and fun.
So investing in school swimming is investing in the well-being, safety and all-round development of children and teenagers. After all, swimming is much more than a physical activity, it’s a real life lesson!
At Escola Internacional de Alphaville, we offer swimming lessons as part of the curriculum and extracurricular classes. In addition, we also offer swimming lessons for babies from 6 months to 3 years old.
