Why start a team sport from young age?

Many parents ask themselves the question: what is the right age to introduce my child to team sport like basketball or volleyball? These activities are perfect for strengthening motor coordination, teamwork and personal confidence. At Stallion Sport Club , we support young people of all ages in Ouest-de-l'île through programs adapted to each level.

Early initiation to sport also makes it possible to anchor healthy life habits, far from screens, from an early age 

"All alone we go faster, together we go further."
- African proverb -

Active game is essential to the engine, cognitive and social development of children. It strengthens self -esteem and promotes creativity. The Ministry of Education of Quebec offers resources to encourage active family game: the importance of active game in children's development

The practice of team sports improves coordination, strength and flexibility in children. It also promotes the development of social skills such as listening and collaboration. However, it is important to ensure a security practice to avoid growth -related injuries: team sports in children: all about advantages and risks

The good age to introduce your child to basketball

  • 4 to 5 years old : fun games, balloons adapted to the size of the child.
  • 7 to 8 years old : Introduction to dribble techniques, passes and shots.
  • 10 years and over : start of structured matches with full rules.

Basketball is ideal for developing agility, coordination and team spirit from an early age.

👉 Physical activity in school -aged children

At what age start volleyball?

  • 6 to 7 years old : Motor games, Main-Oteil coordination exercises.
  • 8 to 9 years old : learning basic technical gestures (service, cuff, pass).
  • 11 to 12 years : start of structured training and friendly competitions.

Volleyball develops concentration, balance and communication, so many skills useful in school as in life.

👉 Promote healthy lifestyle by sport

Each child evolves at their own pace

The main thing is to respect the level, the desires and the development rate of each child. A good sports supervision must above all promote pleasure and confidence, not performance pressure.

At Stallion Sport Club , our coaches create a positive, accessible and motivating environment for each young person.
