Most learners partake in some or other extracurricular activity. The most popular of these is sport.
You’re probably itching to get out onto the sports fields again and get active after this long summer break.
In light of the weather conditions in South Africa, there are a few staple necessities.
Make sure that you have the following:
• Sun block/lotion
In summer this is a must to protect your skin and other sensitive body parts. You’ll be thankful later in life.
• Water bottle
Running around even when it’s cold makes you thirsty and in summer it’s a necessity to drink water between fitness exercises.
• For the girls, a headband
This counts for males with long hair too. There’s nothing worse than sweat dripping into your eyes.
• Sport uniform
While practices are usually in any sports clothes, matches and events require a sport uniform. Make sure you know where to get it or find out if the school has a second-hand shop so you aren’t left with hardly any time and no stock available.
• The right equipment
Sports safety equipment and gear may sometimes look a little bit odd or unfashionable, but using the right protective safety gear for your sport is essential for preventing serious injuries or reducing the severity of an injury you may receive.
