Back-to-school and sports are key times for children in Montreal. Between homework, exams, and new responsibilities, it can be difficult for young people to find a balance.
However, joining a team sport like basketball or volleyball from September is an excellent way to improve their academic success, well-being and self-confidence, while reducing the time spent in front of screens.
August is the time for last barbecues, late nights... and the first preparations for the children's return to sports . For young athletes, the return to basketball or volleyball is fast approaching...
A few simple adjustments to sleep , gear , activity , and mindset can turn a stressful back-to-school season into a calm and motivating one. Here are the most common mistakes and how to avoid them to help your child get the season off to a great start.

Strengthening self-esteem and confidence
The same government source emphasizes that physical activity contributes to “better self-esteem ,” an essential asset for adolescents who experience many changes during the school year.
Overall Development and Team Spirit
Beyond academic achievement, basketball and volleyball teach young people to work as a team, develop their independence and strengthen their sense of cooperation.
Reducing Screen Time and Maintaining a Balanced Life
Regular exercise helps children reduce screen time, let off steam, and maintain an active lifestyle. As Health Canada reminds us, “physical activity is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle .
For exercise to become a lasting habit, it is important to establish a balanced routine:
Plan training around homework,
Prepare the equipment the day before to avoid stress,
Maintain a regular schedule, even with short daily sessions.
Parental support, combined with a structured framework provided by a sports club, maximizes the benefits without adding additional pressure.
Joining a club like the Stallion Sports Club provides young people with a safe and stimulating environment to play basketball and volleyball. Parents don't have to manage the organization; everything from planning to coaching is taken care of.
The club helps young people to:
Develop discipline and team spirit,
Build lasting friendships,
Finding a balance between school, leisure and physical activity.
