To us, teaching circus skills is about much more than just giving kids a new bag of tricks to show off to their friends – it’s about supporting their progression through the educational, emotional, social and physical aspects of their lives.Yes, it’s exciting – and yes, the children love every moment of it. But did you know that the skills taught at Circus sports actually have a huge, positive influence on your children’s growth and learning? In fact, many schools throughout the world have actually added ‘circus’ to part of their permanent curriculum.But the best part about circus is the rich, constructive stimulation it provides for your child. Choosing circus allows you to watch your children’s development unfold before your eyes as they learn skills they love and have a genuine passion for. Teaching Circus skills is much more then an after-school or fun holiday activity! Want to know the areas of development our circus programs focus on? Circus can assist
Physical Development - Circus skills are often very physical, and require high levels of dexterity, energy and stamina. Each of our programs helps the children to tap into their physical abilities and improve the control they have over their bodily actions, such as:
• Hand-Eye Coordination
• Balance
• Cardio-Vascular Fitness
Learning circus skills gives children a great sense of accomplishment, and the performance skills we teach give them something to become incredibly proud of. But it’s not all about the successes – at Circus Sports we teach that making mistakes is an important part of learning, which helps the children become more rounded in how they value themselves, improving not only their self-confidence and self-esteem, but the outlook they have on their journey through life. Educational Development - Are trainers have worked in close partnership with many schools, and each of our programs has been built to support the educational growth of all the children we teach. The skills taught by our trainers have been shown to help children perform better at school, by increasing the quality of their concentration, patience and giving them more motivation to succeed. Social Development - Because many of the skills we teach involve working as a team, our programs see the children’s social and team skills rocket. This has a huge impact on other areas of the children’s lives, such as their interpersonal skills and how they participate in group activities. There are very few activities that can give your child so much without them even realising it…
We often have parents telling us that the transformation they’ve seen since their child started circus school is ‘magic’ – but we always give the same reply: It’s not magic – it’s circus!
