SPORTS FACILITIES
Children around the globe are naturally attracted to sport and play. Sport and play are essential for the development of children to explore, invent, and create. Besides being fun, it has a positive effect on social skills, confidence, and the children’s ability to express themselves. Playing in all its forms is every child’s right. In most countries, children practice organized sports after school and over the weekend. Every week, parents, their kids, and the volunteers have to be present at the sports center. To accommodate all those people, the clubs build sports centers and sports facilities. Since these spaces are similar to schools and kindergartens, with loads of children around, it is important to create a safe environment. Sport and play are accompanied by emotion and, in the case of small children, mainly from friendly competition. An accident can happen on the field, but preferably not off the field at the sports facility. Children should not be able to hurt themselves at the sports facilities due to sharp corners, slippery floors, and slamming doors. Parents should be able to let their children play sports, knowing that they will return home without being hurt through the negligence of safety.
