Every Move Matters

For a long time, sports have been viewed as a way to stay healthy and in shape, but its importance goes much deeper especially for school-going children

Every Move Matters

Sport has long been an established part of all good international schools’ curriculum yet compared to other curricular activities, parents typically do not rate it in a place of importance in the development of children. It is traditionally regarded as just a fun activity for kids to spend their energy, but with little practical value. However, we now know that this is not true.

Your child’s weekly tennis rounds or rugby games can have real benefits on their mental, physical, and social development. Studies have shown that being active in sports increases blood flow to the brain and helps the body build more connections between nerves, leading to increased concentration, enhanced memory, stimulated creativity, and better-developed problem-solving skills.

In short, playing sports helps the brain grow and makes it work better.

At Epsom College in Malaysia, students get a chance to experience a range of sports, thus shaping a positive lifelong attitude towards fitness and health. Those with a keen interest in a particular activity can opt for co-curricular sessions that take place every afternoon. Students train at least twice a week, and teams at every age group will compete in inter-house tournaments as well as against other schools.

The school currently has a pioneering partnership with Patrick Mouratoglou, founder of the Mouratoglou Academy and one of the most influential coaches in tennis. The Mouratoglou Tennis Programme equips students of all ability levels with the knowledge, skills, competence and confidence to perform both on and off the court. Open to students aged 11 and above, the programme also provides talented young athletes with an intensive training schedule if one wants to work towards a professional tennis career.
