Topic : Ministry of Youth And Sports
Nowadays, most of the children are told to focus on studies but not sports. Children are ask to score well in their exam and get into the school that their parents wanted they go. Do you notice that children are getting shorter and shorter. Even they had already in secondary school. There is few causes about it, but I want to focus on the reason regarding sports. Basketball is a one of the sports that can overcome these problems.
Basketball is a team game. Players have to cooperate with their teammates and the coach to accomplish the goal. Hence, players will gain their social skills and have trained to not easily give up.Most of the primary school and secondary school will have one basketball court. Some of the housing areas also have a basketball court. This will provide a place for the children to play or practice the skills.
The cement flooring of the court in USJ11 is cracked and
rain puddles are found around the court.
The entire scoreboard at the basketball court in SS18 is missing.
From the picture above, we can see the facilities maintenance is terrible. This is just a case that shown, how about the others that didn't report? Basketball have lots of rules to obey. The basketball court above don't even have all the lines on the court that act as the land mark for some of the rules. Plus, with a cement flooring cracked basketball court is too dangerous for the players. They will be easily injured their bodies. This might be an excuse for the parents to not allow their child to play sports.
According to the players and the coaches that use the basketball court at Subang Jaya, some of the rims are rusty, loose and shaky every time they have a shoot on it. They had changed the light bulbs themselves to allow the players to use the court at night. Some of the benches along the court were broken and the scoreboard had been vandalized. The nets get worn out with regular use.
As a ministry of youth and sports, these issues had triggered my alertness on the facilities maintenance of all the sports. Sports is an activities that needed safety and good facilities. I would like to organize a club in each area that provides the maintenance of facilities included school. These club will ensure that the basketball court is always in a good condition and safety for the players to use. Most important is the cases above will not happened again.
A basketball court basic requirement
With these changes, parents are relieve to let their children to play sports. Parents and coaches doesn't need to worried about children safety. Players will also improve their basketball skills with these better facilities. The children that play sports will have well physical develop during their puberty and gain problem-solving skill. They know how to set and accomplish the goal. This will lead them to learn the time management skills that very important in the life. This ensure the Malaysia a better and safer place to live in.

I completely agree to your statement above...Basketball is one of the popular game which involves twisting,jumping,running and dribbling movements.If the condition and the facilities over there is not in proper manner means how does the parents allow their child to play this game. This will totally affect the children..So that by improving the facilities we may encounter this problems..
ReplyDeletethanks.
DeleteI agree with your statement. As kids nowadays are more "active" in indoor than outdoor. As you can see nowadays kids wear a thick spectacles. Kids nowadays also have a low body immune system which they always get sick easily. To reduce all these problems, we must encourage kids go for exercises, for example basketball. So, as a Ministry of Youth and Sports, what will you do to encourage kids nowadays to go for exercises?
ReplyDeletethanks for agree my statement. To encourage the kids to do more exercises, first of all i will organize some activity in the school. Then some campaign not only for the kids but also the parents. This is due to the fact of parents play a important role for kids development. With the parents involving the exercise, the kids will more willing to practice this good habit.
