The Importance of Intramurals or Sports Fest in Schools

86

By GeneralHowitzer

Intramurals is the perfect time to highlight camaraderie, sportsmanship and vast talents.

The school is a place where students are nurtured to become a responsible and productive member of the society. It provides a complete means of molding students to become an employee or professional, to the chosen field of endeavor they wish to engage in. The mathematics and science subjects assist students to enhance their logic reasoning, and mathematical maturity, the English subjects hones and polishes verbal and written communications, the General Education subjects promotes socialization and awareness, and Physical Education subject attempts to let the students have holistic and active lifestyle and at the same time learn life from valuing the essence of winning and losing.

 

Here are the reasons why sports fest or intramural is held in a school:

1. Intramural are held in school with the objectives of developing the psycho-motor of the students, this way they will able to channel their energy and time the right way.

2. To promote camaraderie and rapport among the students, instructors and administrative staffs. In other words, this undertaking is poised to build a strong bond and cohesion.

3. To instill and inculcate discipline among the students. Engaging in sports will help students refrain from various forms of vices such as drugs, smoking, drinking and even gambling.

4. To teach them the value of teamwork. In real work environment teamwork is one of the most valuable attribute an employee should have. Ability to work well with other people with efficiency and efficacy, can lead you to promotion and security with your job tenure.

5. To know the value of sportsmanship. Ability to accept bitter defeat is a sign of maturity and the ability to bounce back strong, triumphing over your adversary will able you to experience immense joy like no other. No matter what is the outcome, win or lose, stand up high and accept the outcome of the game. If you lose rebound stronger next time, practice your craft and learn from your mistake. If you win however, never rest on your laurels, keep practicing and always maintain your fierce fighting form. Improve even further and don’t let pressure beat you during actual competition or grow excessively boastful and arrogant because you are on top. Stay humble.

6. To showcase your talents in your chosen field of endeavor to the spectators, so that others will emulate your character, perseverance, winning ways and awesome talents, if ever you are a prime athlete of your school.

7. To develop healthy competition among the participants.

8. To develop fair play among the athletes. Cheating is null and void, same can be said with dirty tactics.

9. The ability to shine even under pressure. Being in front of many people will help you get rid of being nervous. This is important since this will aid students in the coming years, while they hunt for jobs or when they have jobs already.

10. Improve the personality of the students.

Intramurals or sports competition is essential to the well-being of the students. Sports instills how to win, how to accept defeat, how to interact with other people and how to mold them to have desirable character traits that are vital in achieving success in the future.

AGREE.I hope students and teachers recognize the importance of engaging in sports activities so that they will not be taking these for granted. For students who are not likely inclined in sports will always consider intramurals as opportunities to go on vacation.
