Benefits of Playing Basketball: For Kids


Basketball, is a phenomenal outdoor/indoor activity which allows children (and adults) to get exercise, play with friends, and learn teamwork. We believe, encouraging your child to play basketball at a young age will not only help him benefit from the virtues of a rigorous (also very fun) sport. Our school's goal is to have basketball function as a foundation for staying active later in life.

On the bright side, basketball, does not require much equipment to purchase in order to start playing. If there is no basketball court nearby you, we don't think that should be a hinderance from yourself and your child to get involved with the game. One way to bring basketball to you, would be putting up a hoop in a large indoor area, or even better; you could put one up outdoors. A number of sports brands offer equipment like hoops, nets, and backboards that can be easily put up and disassembled after use.




8 Different Ways Basketball Will Improve Your Child's Overall Well-Being


1. Exercise

Basketball is a fast-paced sport. It involves consistent running, jumping, dribbling, passing, and shooting. If your child shows a disinterest in playing sports, has lazy tendencies, or is looking for some exercise, we feel basketball is an excellent opportunity for them to improve their overall physical well-being.

2. Building Muscles

Swift movements, and rigorous usage of the entire body, lead to burning a lot of calories. The act of shooting, through repetition, helps build muscles. Especially while growing, we feel it is important for children to continually engage their bodies in different forms of exercise. 

3. Increase of Accuracy & Precision

Shooting the ball into the hoop requires an immense amount of concentration. One must combine that concentration with good aim, and delicate touch, in order to consistently score. The old saying, 'practice makes perfect' reigns true here.  We can develop your child into a consistent scorer, while building their confidence.  



4. Self-Discipline

Just like every other sport, basketball has a number of rules to follow. Penalties are assessed when rules are broken. This presents a good opportunities for your child to learn 'right from wrong.' While learning the rules, we will help your child build up a competitive spirit. 

5. Implementation of Strategy

Every sport involves certain strategies to help mitigate the difficulties of scoring past your opponent. We teach your child how to implement different sets of strategies, so your child will to be able to learn more advanced and cunning moves. Our thought is, knowing great strategy, will help your child advance further in life.

6. Instillation of Team-Work

Basketball teaches one how to be a productive working member of a team. Everyone has their own specific job. Communication is one of the most important skills anyone must use while playing basketball.  Working as a team through playing basketball, is a great way for your child to appreciate and adopt team-spirit.

7. Helps Make New Friends

There is nothing better than assisting your friend on a made basket, and having that feeling of euphoria, as you have both just excelled together. Getting together with other children will give your child an opportunity to meet new people. When we play together, we form new relationships, often lasting. We want to give your child every resource possible to feel good about themselves, and for parents to know their child is making new friends. 

8. Boosting Confidence

It is not easy to walk on the court for the first time and be like, Lebron James. At Royal Basketball School, we understand that every child is at a different level in their own individual learning process. Even if your child is a bit intimidated at the thought of trying out basketball, we will walk them through every step necessary in order for them to have fun. Seeing yourself make a basket, helps build crucial bits of confidence that our children need.

At Royal Basketball School, we believe there is so much more to developing your child's basketball skills than just going out on the court to shoot. We focus on the fundamentals of the game. The critical building blocks your child needs to become a solid overall basketball player. The younger a child begins working on their game, the faster they will develop into a well-rounded athlete.  Developing proper body movement, harnessing athleticism, perfecting hand eye coordination, enhancing  work ethic, and the promotion of a daily exercise routine, will all be taught to your child.  Our youngest age groups focus on: How to run, jump, slide your feet, skip, move dynamically with high knees, and jump on a single foot. Students also begin to learn how to control the basketball with their fingertips, roll the ball on the ground, hold the ball, dribble, pass and so much more!  Q: Does that mean my child will not learn how to shoot in the class designed for the youngest leve...
