Responsible parents strive to give their child as much as possible from the first days of his life. By the middle of preschool age, the issue of additional education becomes relevant. Which sections for children from 3 years old are the most useful and safe? We will try to understand this question and find the correct answer to it.
What do sports centers and schools offer to three-year-olds?
In most continuing education centers, the smallest are offered courses in four directions. This is general development, circles of arts and crafts, music and dance classes, sports sections. Most parents opt for the latter category. Physical activity is good for every little one from a very young age. At the same time, at the age of three, you can choose the kind of sport that best suits the character and temperament of a particular child. What are the most popular sports sections for children from 3 years old? These are light and artistic gymnastics, fitness, yoga, team sports games, martial arts, swimming, choreography and various dance styles. Each area has its own pros and cons, as well as distinctive features.
Artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, acrobatics
In many cities of our country there are artistic gymnastics sections that accept children from 2 years of age for training. Of course, such circles do not have much in common with the professional sport of the same name. Gymnastics for children from 3 years old - a section offering a program aimed at the general development of the child's body. Training in serious exercise usually begins no earlier than 4-5 years of age. Why is the basic course useful? In early childhood, it is much easier to form a beautiful posture. In addition, gymnastics helps you achieve good stretching. This sport is useful for the development of plastic movements and grace.
Team sports
Football, volleyball, basketball, hockey and other team sports games have a positive effect on the development of all muscle groups. Active kids will especially like these sections for children from 3 years old. Team sports are good for the child's psyche as well. Constant communication with other children develops communication skills. The kid will definitely meet new friends in his team. The main task for parents is to choose a sports game that suits the interests and temperament of the baby. Almost all sports in this category develop dexterity, coordination of movements and speed of reaction.
Dances and choreography
Without exception, all babies react positively to cheerful and rhythmic melodies. Having heard the music, the child smiles, begins to play and dance. For this reason, dance sections for children 3 years old are very popular. Dancing is considered one of the least dangerous physical activities. Classes in choreographic groups bring the kids incredible pleasure and a lot of positive emotions. Dance sections for children from 3 years old develop creative thinking, help to fully master their own body language. The advantages of regular dancing classes are graceful posture, gracefulness and flexibility of movements. Any choreographic direction develops a sense of rhythm. This means that in the future it will be easier for a child to learn how to play musical instruments or sing.
Martial arts for the little ones
Sports sections for children from 3 years old, based on various types of martial arts, are quite popular. Aikido, karate, wu-shu and other disciplines harmoniously develop all muscle groups. Don't worry about your child's safety. At the basic stages of training, special attention is paid to warm-up and dynamic exercises. Kids do not participate in fights and cannot harm themselves or each other. The benefits of such exercises are great: in the process of training, endurance, reaction speed, agility and flexibility develop. Such sections for children from 3 years old are also useful for their spiritual education. Any system of martial arts teaches a child to be brave, fair and use his own strength only when attacking.
Classes in this category are suitable for kids with any type of temperament and temperament. Timid children can really open up and believe in their own capabilities. Little fidgets, on the other hand, will be able to direct their energy in the right direction. Many Eastern practices are also useful for developing concentration, the ability to control your attention.
Swimming and other general strengthening sports areas
Many parents believe that it makes no sense to choose some kind of profile sport direction until the age of 5-6. This opinion holds. But you should not leave the child without physical exertion and developmental activities. For the complex development and strengthening of muscles, you can choose some kind of universal sports direction.
At three years old, you can enroll a child in the pool. Learning to swim is not only interesting, but also rewarding. This skill will definitely come in handy in adulthood. Exercise has a positive effect on the formation of a healthy posture and harmoniously develops all muscle groups. The swimming section for children from 3 years old can be visited 1-2 times a week. Some sports clubs offer joint activities for moms and children.
How do you choose your ideal section?
When choosing a sports club for a child, it is important to consider its availability. It is very convenient to visit the continuing education center, which is a 10-minute walk from your home. But regular trips to the other side of the city can tire a child quite a lot. Even the best football section for children from 3 years old will surely not like your kid if it takes more than an hour to travel. It is helpful to start by finding out what clubs and sports clubs are available in your area. It will not be superfluous at this stage of the choice to clarify the schedule of classes and their approximate cost.
Most likely, only a few sections will seem most convenient to you. One of them should be chosen, taking into account the interests and characteristics of the child's character. See which games your little one enjoys the most. Already at the age of three, you can notice that one child prefers to dance and have fun, while the other picks up the ball whenever possible. Active kids are best suited for active team sports and dancing. Calm children should try swimming and martial arts.
Physical development without harm to the psyche and health!
Isn't it too early to send your child to sports at the age of three? According to experts in early development, this age is ideal to start attending additional classes. The most important thing is not to be mistaken when choosing a specific center and to organize the order of its visit correctly. Almost all circles and sections for children 3 years old offer to attend 1-2 classes per week. Make sure that the baby does not overexert himself. If your child goes to kindergarten, it makes sense to pick him up early on the days of visiting the sports section. Do not schedule any extra recreational activities on your workout day. If you feel unwell or noticeably tired, it is better to skip classes. Young athletes should receive extremely positive emotions while visiting the sports center.
If the child does not want to go to training, it is pointless to force him. It makes sense to think about moving to another section. At three years old, the child is still too young to attend more than 2-3 different circles. Do not seek to occupy him "all at once", it is better to devote time to one or at most two directions. It is a big mistake for parents to make the baby fulfill his own dreams. If your child doesn’t enjoy your favorite sport, let him make his own choice. It is quite possible that the first section will become the kid's favorite hobby for life. Now you know that you can start organized sports activities as soon as your child is 3 years old. Which section to send the baby to, it's up to you.

Fundamentals of Maritime Affairs at the Moscow City Children's Maritime Center. Peter the Great

Older children can choose a direction - from ship modeling and radio communications to navigation and ship mechanics. And regardless of age, everyone is studying the history of the Russian fleet, aesthetics and naval training.
But the most interesting thing in the studio is practice. The center has its own coastal base at the Khimki reservoir and a training flotilla.

All caring parents have the same question of where to send their five-year-old child. It is very important to be guided not by your preferences, but by the wishes and abilities of your child when choosing a sports or developmental section. If you choose something that the child does not particularly like or does not suit his capabilities, your child will simply not just throw you the chosen circle soon. We are not saying that you need to follow the lead of your baby, since children at this age cannot yet figure out their desires on their own. But still, the child's opinion must be taken into account.
Another thing that is very important in choosing a circle is the territorial location of an educational school or section. After all, a long time is very tiring, as a result of which you yourself will soon abandon this venture. Yes, it is the parents, not the child. Practice shows that mostly adults refuse long trips. In addition, this act may negatively affect your child, as he may think that sports are not an obligatory thing that can be abandoned at any time.
From this it follows that the expensive section should take no more than 40-50 minutes. If not, try to find something closer to your home. At the age of five, a child should have time for both entertainment and socializing with friends. If this is a schoolboy, then the cost to the section should be minimal, since he also needs to do his homework.
Which sports clubs are accepted from 5 years old?
All parents want their child to be healthy and strong. For this, most parents send their child to sports clubs. The choice of the sports section must be taken seriously, because some sports and enhanced activities can negatively affect the health of the baby. As such, there is no specific age for sports, everything is individual. You need to take into account the physical abilities, health and wishes of your child. The main thing is that before the start of the first grade, the baby has already passed at least six months - a year for the sports section.
When choosing a sports club, you should not be guided only by your experience, for example, you wanted to go to football as a child, and your parents signed you up for gymnastics. Therefore, you, in turn, enrolled your child in football. Or maybe your child will like gymnastics. So, be sure to take into account the desire of the baby, his capabilities and state of health. And now let's talk in more detail about the sections to which children from 5 years old are taken.
Gymnastics. It is recommended to give a girl from 4-5 years old to gymnastics, while a boy from 5-6 years old. It depends on the development of the child, everyone knows that girls in most cases develop a little faster than boys. Physical fitness is also an important part of this sport. Be prepared for the child to be asked to pull up on the bar, do a few squats, test the child for flexibility, etc. If we are talking about health-improving gymnastics, then no physical training is required here, only the desire of your child.
If you do not know where to send a hyperactive child, then gymnastics is for you. It will also be useful for children with problems with.
Team sports (these include football, hockey, volleyball, etc.). In the team sport section, children from 5-6 years old can be given, depending on their physical fitness and development. This sport is useful in that it improves the functioning of the lungs and heart, and also helps to strengthen the visual and musculoskeletal system. The child learns to work in a team and correctly express their emotions. In addition, reaction and speed are improved. The only drawback of team sports can be the high risk of injury.
Martial arts... As you already understood, here we will talk about karate, sambo, boxing, etc. Children from 5-5 years old can be sent to the martial arts section. This sport is suitable for almost any child, regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl. Also, the character of the child does not matter, since everyone finds something of their own.
With the help of martial arts, the child learns endurance, quick reaction and flexibility. Also, this sport allows you to throw out your emotions and negative feelings. As for health, martial arts have a health-improving effect. The only drawback may be the possibility of injury.
Swimming. You can give your child for swimming from 3-4 years old. This sport is the most useful for young children, it has practically no contraindications, the only thing is a reaction to poor-quality water in the pool.
Firstly, swimming has a positive effect on the health and body of the baby. With it, you can strengthen the musculoskeletal system and improve blood circulation. Swimming exercises improve the nervous system. Secondly, this sport is very useful for children with myopia, scoliosis and obesity.
If your child is crazy about playing in the water, then this sport is for you. In addition, some sports are contraindicated for some children, so swimming can be a good substitute.
Dance Sport. A child aged 5-6 years can be given to dance. They are recommended for boys and girls who have scoliosis or are overweight, as dancing helps to improve posture and shape. The only contraindications may be diseases of the musculoskeletal system and myopia.
Developing study circles and preparation for school
Now let's talk about developing study circles that specialize in the study of foreign languages, classes for the development of logic and thinking. As for English, everyone understands perfectly well that this language is necessary for every person in today's modern world. Therefore, it is worth giving a child to English from childhood. You ask, at what age is it better to send a child to English? So, the sooner the better.
The fact is that children aged 3-4 years postpone knowledge of English in the hemisphere in which they have knowledge of their native language. While in adults, the acquired new material from English is deposited in a completely different hemisphere. Therefore, if a kid starts learning English from an early age, then he can become as dear to him as Russian.

Health benefits for children
Before giving your child to the sports section, go with him to see a specialist. In this case, it is better to choose a doctor at a sports club rather than a district pediatrician, since the therapist does not always know the specifics of certain types of loads. Only with the approval of a doctor can you plan your training schedule.
- Any serious problems with the respiratory or circulatory system may be a contraindication to active sports. If your child has high blood pressure, an irregular heart rate, or bronchial asthma, exercise therapy is ideal.
- When choosing a sport, consider the existing chronic diseases of the child. If the kid sees poorly, neither contact types of martial arts, nor such outdoor games as volleyball, basketball or football are suitable for him.
- If the crumb often catches a cold and is difficult to tolerate diseases of the respiratory system,any sports that require prolonged contact with cold air are contraindicated for him, be it skiing, skating or hockey. Swimming in the pool is not suitable for those suffering from chronic tonsillitis and sinusitis. Children with diseases of the genitourinary system should refrain from water sports.

- Secondly, consider the physical and psychological characteristics of your preschooler.If he is short, do not try to give him to volleyball or basketball. A chubby child should not be given to or. Such activities will only root complexes in the baby's psyche due to the fact that you put him in a deliberately disadvantageous condition.
- The successful choice of the section also depends on character of the child... Sociable kids will have fun playing as a team. If your baby loves to be in the center of attention, athletics classes are suitable for him, because the victory will not have to be shared with anyone. For closed and shy children, individual sports such as swimming, tennis, gymnastics will be an ideal choice.
- The third important factor when choosing a section is good coach... He must combine both teaching skills and knowledge of child psychology. Not always a renowned athlete can find a common language with children and create a comfortable atmosphere for their development. Take a class with your chosen coach before you enroll your child in a group. Chat with the mothers of other kids who are already working with this trainer and get their opinion.
- Consider and the location of the sports school. Ideally, it should be close to home or kindergarten, so that the child spends less time on the road and can quickly get home from training. On the other hand, location should not be a factor if the sports or coaches of the nearest children's sports club are not suitable for the child.

- For active, sociable boys, classes or basketball, or volleyball... All these sports have a general strengthening effect on the growing body, strengthen the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, develop dexterity and increase the reaction rate.

The main thing that loving parents must do is make the right choice. Many sections start accepting children from 3-4 years old. There is no need to rush to give the baby to the first circle that comes across. Ask your child what he wants to do.
You should choose a circle for a small child close to home, otherwise a long tedious journey will discourage the crumbs from any interest in visiting him. Some sections provide trial lessons. As spectators, observe what is happening around, and then ask the child for his opinion.
Sometimes the kids, after a couple of workouts, refuse to attend the section again, parents should not force him to go against his will, you need to talk to the child and find out the reason for the whims. If the coach makes a lot of comments or the crumbs do not always succeed, you need to cheer him up and make it clear that over time the desired result will be achieved.
Selection by type of temperament
A baby at 4 years old sometimes cannot independently make a choice in favor of one or another section. Take a closer look at its character, it will be easier to determine the direction. Quiet, calm children will not be entirely comfortable in an acting studio; overly active kids are better off trying their hand at dancing or sports.

Psychologists tend to argue that the type of temperament affects the success of a child in a particular type of activity:
- Overly active kids who are constantly on the move and often come into conflict with other children are of the choleric type.
- Sanguine people are able to control their emotions, they are strong-willed and purposeful.
- Calm, balanced and a little slow children are phlegmatic, they can concentrate on a certain type of activity for a long time.
- The fourth type is melancholic, such children are often capricious, quickly irritated and unable to overcome difficulties.
