The scorching summer is a season for sweating profusely. Exercise not only allows you to enjoy playing with friends, but also helps to strengthen your body, making it a must-have for summer.

On the occasion of the upcoming 15th August 8th National Fitness Day and the first Sports Promotion Week in China, Shanghai's "mythical beasts" are also celebrating their summer vacation through sports - the "Run Bar Youth" children and youth theme fitness activity is hot: various sports skills training, rich sports events, professional scientific fitness guidance, and colorful sports culture education, all of which bring children a healthy and happy experience, benefiting 120000 young people.

Among them, more than 3000 sessions of Shanghai Youth Sports Summer Camp have been highly regarded and loved: the summer camp covers 57 sports including football, basketball, volleyball, table tennis, badminton, tennis, etc., totaling more than 3000 sessions. It also includes 29 sports skills training courses, including physical fitness, football, martial arts, etc., with nearly 8500 class hours.

According to statistics, nearly 10000 teenagers have signed up for summer camp courses, which are expected to benefit nearly 120000 teenagers.

On August 6th, Shangguan News reporters visited the summer camps for windsurfing, fencing, and table tennis events on site.

Rich guidance from professional teachers in sports projects

The reporter learned in the interview that compared to last year, the number of registrations for water sports training at the New East Asia Water Sports Development Center has increased significantly. The first international table tennis summer camp led by Xu Xin, Xuperman, has been fully booked in four phases, and has also attracted foreign children who love table tennis to sign up... This year's Shanghai Youth Sports Summer Camp is particularly popular, which puts higher requirements on the teaching staff.

It is understood that all coaches of the sports summer camp must participate in unified training organized by the Municipal Youth Sports Association or relevant units, and can only work with certificates after passing the training. At the same time, the Shanghai Youth Sports Association guides all units to scientifically set courses and equip coaches based on the number of applicants and skill levels of young people. To ensure the effectiveness of training and test the quality of training, the Youth Sports Summer Camp also provides free opportunities for "children and adolescents physical fitness tests" for campers, and provides test reports to camper parents and operating institutions, providing reference for teenagers to choose sports that are suitable for their own conditions.

Arriving at the Shanghai New East Asia Water Sports Development Center, the shimmering lake is adorned with colorful sails, which looks very beautiful. The clouds in the sky cannot block the scorching heat, nor can they conceal the children's perseverance in training. The children at the windsurfing summer camp are systematically practicing the complete operation of windsurfing on land under the guidance of the coach, and then following the instructions to practice underwater. It is reported that after ten classes, children can basically master certain theoretical knowledge and water balance.

Chang Yanyao, the child, is attending the summer camp for the first time. With a curiosity about windsurfing, in the high temperature of Shencheng, the sunscreen on her face has already melted, but she still practices it. She told reporters that although she was afraid of falling into the water, because this project was very fun, relying on natural wind, the wind would change the trajectory of the windsurfing, so she tried to overcome the difficulties, and next time she had the opportunity to come to the summer camp, she wanted to continue experiencing this project.

Cha Yin, Director of the Shanghai New East Asia Water Sports Development Center, said, "We are the only youth sports association that is engaged in the water sports windsurfing project. This project has received good feedback in two phases. The purpose of the summer camp is to hope that children can learn more about and experience windsurfing projects, and also promote windsurfing."

Team Cooperation Experience Sports Education

In the bright and spacious indoor teaching space, 18 professional fencing swordsmanship pieces are laid out, some of which are reserved for summer camp children. At the fencing summer camp of Shanghai Century New Star Youth Sports Club, 10 students are practicing with the coach: at the sound of the whistle, the children take a neat and uniform step forward, skillfully wielding their swords, and then return to their previous movements after the next whistle. So repeated, what remains unchanged is the high standard movements as always, and learning epee with zero foundation can also yield full rewards.

"Under the guidance of a professional coach, within a period of 10 days, through one and a half hours of daily classes, one can master the basic movement essentials and complete practical exercises under the guidance of the coach." said He Lingyong, the head of Century New Star Youth Sports Club, "Every parent can feel that their child's physical and psychological qualities have changed to some extent through these ten days of learning."

This also aligns with the original intention of some parents sending their children here. Mr. Yu, the parent of the student, said that under the premise that the child is interested in fencing, fencing can cultivate their fighting spirit and broaden their horizons, which is very beneficial for their future development.

On August 6th, Chinese teenagers from eleven provinces and their peers from South Africa, France, and the United States gathered together to celebrate the closing ceremony of the table tennis summer camp. According to Lu Yi, Deputy General Manager of Sports Xu Xin, systematic table tennis skill training, cultural class learning, and outdoor activities were offered during the summer camp.

Looking back on the 8-day 7-night table tennis journey, in addition to making new friends, the students quickly improved their skills here, experienced table tennis culture and a more fulfilling summer life. By their side, Olympic champion Xu Xin and international table tennis athlete Yao Yan personally teach and provide hands-on guidance at each summer camp. Under the division of classes teaching, students with zero foundation can basically compete with the coach at the end of the camp, while students with foundation can improve the framework after the summer camp.

In addition to exchanging skills, students who meet each other with the same passion for table tennis build a cultural exchange bridge for them, allowing young students to further understand the spirit of Chinese sports. At the ceremony, Antu, a mixed race Chinese and French, and his roommate Zhao Yingqi from Tianjin showcased their friendship. Antu memorized a newly learned ancient poem "Looking at the Waterfall of Mount Lu", while Zhao Yingqi introduced herself in French, enjoying herself harmoniously.

In addition to summer camps, there are also a series of colorful activities that play the role of sports education. For example, the "Voice of Gold Medals" Shanghai Gold Medal Sports Commentator Selection Competition uses online preliminary selection, offline semi-finals, finals, special training, and commentary experiences to allow young people to experience the diverse charm of sports; The "Champion takes you on a camping trip" event invites sports champions and renowned architectural experts to lead young people to visit Shanghai's iconic sports venues such as the Oriental Sports Center and Xujiahui Sports Park. Through explanation and interaction, young people can further understand sports knowledge and experience Shanghai style sports culture.

Colorful event activities "assist"

In addition to popularization, the Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau also takes multiple measures to target outstanding youth sports talents with development potential. It organizes 28 summer training camps for outstanding youth athletes, strengthens basic training, improves technical and tactical levels, and further explores and cultivates outstanding reserve talents in competitive sports.
