The education of athletes is not the easiest thing to do. On the one hand, it is necessary to carry out regular training, on the other hand, it is required to obtain a general education. For athletes, however, this can be challenging at times.

And it's not about ability. Just education is not an easy thing, especially when the general education system and the system sports training do not match. They exist on their own. The state can promote sports as much as it wants, but no one has canceled the general education of athletes.

And then there are problems with combining a regular school and sports training, not to mention competitions and lengthy training camps. In addition, there has long been an opinion that the education of athletes is a secondary thing. Like, the main thing is sports achievements, everything else - later. But it is not so. Knowledge is necessary in any business, because the strategy, logic of actions during the competition has not been canceled. And this requires a good education.

Today it is not difficult to combine study and sports. This is why there is an external study or distance learning. What are the benefits of distance education for athletes?

• Easy to combine education and training;
• No need to attend school;
• No need to take time off from lessons;
• Everything educational materials are stored on the server;
• You can study abroad;
• Intensive training allows you to finish school earlier;
• The training schedule is adjusted depending on the plan of sports activities, and not vice versa;

And there is one more significant addition: education for athletes is necessary if there is a desire to enter a university or continue sports career as a manager. In this case, distance education will allow you to combine work and distance learning. In addition, at the end of a sports career, the question of the education of athletes may again arise, since it may be advisable to change the profession.

Moreover, external studies will be convenient for both amateurs and professional athletes. Sports dancing, figure skating, football, hockey, swimming - whatever the child chooses, he needs a lot of time for this, and external studies, and even more so, distance education, can provide much-needed time with interest. And then education for athletes will turn into an interesting thing.

When choosing a foreign school with a sports bias, it is worth starting from what your child wants to do. Educational institutions abroad offer a wide variety of sports. Children are motivated by the opportunity to work with successful coaches, participate in competitions, and show their achievements in interschool competitions. However, there are schools in which this or that sport is developed on such high level that parents are eager to send their children here with an eye to a further sports career.

Hockey

If your child plays hockey or other winter sports, you should immediately think about educational institutions in Canada, where these areas are traditionally strong. The most prominent hockey schools are St. John's Ravenscourt School and Stanstead College.

In this article, we will tell you how to combine study and sports, what sports schools and sections are and how to choose the option that suits you.

A healthy child is the dream of any parent, and sports are the best in this help. But studies often make their own adjustments: the young athlete grows up, the load at school becomes greater, and it seems that the only way out is to sacrifice the future. sports career or academic performance. But what if the child does not want to quit training, and you are not ready for a C grade?

Sports schools and sections: what they are

Olympic champion Alexei Yagudin was an excellent student from grades 1 to 10, famous football player Sergei Semak graduated from school with a gold medal, and in the school certificate of the world champion in athletics Yulia Nosova there were only fives. There are many examples of successfully combining study and sports, the main thing is to choose the right strategy.

To do this, you must clearly understand: for what purpose does your child play sports? Agree, requirements for the future Olympic champions significantly differ from the loads of children who go to trainings “for general development”. In some situations, study should remain in the foreground, and in some it is better to focus on sports. Let's take into account all the options and consider 4 ways to combine training with lessons at school.

General education school with a sports bias

It differs from a regular general education school with a sports bias by its increased attention to physical fitness. Every year, admissions to sports classes in one or more disciplines are held, and often they are opened by Olympic reserve schools. If a child is making progress in sports, he may subsequently be transferred to a specialized educational institution with an emphasis on training.

The main plus of a school with a sports bias is the common views of teachers and coaches on combining study and sports. To do this, the general education and sports schools conclude an agreement in which a schedule is prescribed, built in such a way that lessons and training do not overlap and do not interfere with each other. In addition, the unity of views on the development of students eliminates conflicts between parents and teachers, who in regular schools often disapprove of numerous absences due to training and competition.

Any child who does not have medical contraindications for sports can get into the special class. There are public schools, that is, free, and private (the cost of education depends on the specific educational institution).

Secondary school + additional sports sections or sports school

A combination of regular school and sports section for children - the classic version. Training in such sections, as a rule, takes place several times a week after school, so the combination does not cause problems. Such a distribution of loads is optimal for children playing sports for the soul or being on initial stage mastering any discipline.

At the same time, the tandem of the section and the school does not mean at all that as an athlete the child will remain only at the amateur level. For example, in oriental martial arts an additional section is enough to participate in competitions and receive belts. Subsequently, it is possible to enter big sport.

As an alternative to the district section, you can choose a specialized children and youth school Olympic reserve. The goal of any sports school is to prepare professional athletes to participate in serious competitions, including Olympic ones. You can get to such a school not only on the recommendation of a coach or physical education teacher, but also "from the street" by submitting an application yourself.

Specialized sports school

Specialized children's sports schools combine a general educational program and training, and differ from sections and special classes in that they purposefully and more seriously prepare children for big sports.

Such a school can be:

• complex (teaching several types of sports);
• specialized (focused on one sport).

You can get into it either to a free department, if the child is talented and the coaches noticed him, or to a paid department, where children with different physical characteristics and success are engaged.

Sports boarding school

In Russia, children sports boarding schools appeared in the early 70s. This form of education involves the full residence of the child at school and a special schedule that intelligently combines regular lessons and sports.

Of course, not every parent will decide to send the child to live separately and see him only on vacation or on weekends. That is why most often nonresident children study at the boarding school, who are difficult, and sometimes physically impossible, to take to training several times a week.

But this is not the only reason to choose a sports boarding school. If you want to bring up independence in a child, completely immerse him in sports world and do not worry about the intersection of training and lessons, then a specialized boarding school implements all this.

An important nuance: young children are rarely admitted to sports boarding schools. Most often, recruitment is carried out in grades 5-9 or 10-11, followed by specialized training. It is assumed that at this age the child is ready to spend time separately from his parents and fully devote himself to the chosen sport.

Outcomes

So, we figured out what kind of children's sports schools are, and now we will summarize. What should you choose for a child: a full-fledged sports school or a section?

• A school with a sports bias is suitable for any healthy child. For 4 years of standard training, one can understand whether success in sports awaits him, and choose the next path: go to a regular class or do serious preparation with a possible transfer to a specialized educational institution.
• A regular school in combination with an additional section is an option for those whose child goes in for sports for their own pleasure, but learning still comes first. If you are interested in more serious training, you can take your child to additional classes in the sports school.
• Specialized children and youth sport school suitable for a talented child who is making progress in sports and taking him seriously. Such a school is characterized by large physical exercise and a focus on high results.
• You should choose a sports boarding school if your city does not have specialized schools suitable for your child or if you want to arrange for him “ full immersion"In sports.

Remember that the child's success both in sports and in school depends on a competent combination, therefore, when choosing between a section and a sports school, be guided not by someone else's advice, but by the peculiarities of a particular situation.
