Because in this sport lie one of the simplest and most natural forms of exercise: running, jumping and throwing. It can be kept in relatively safe conditions and with initial knowledge. Within the physical education lessons the athletics-rich content is a great tool for unfolding a versatile personality. The athletic movements can be cultivate in accordance with the age characteristics.
The college gymnastics jump pit in the garden for many years provided the teaching/learning of long jump included in the physical education curriculum, but the wrong location (it was designed in the shade) and maintenance was problematic. In recent years, the outsiders began to damage it and slowly become unusable. We really felt its lack of competitive during the single athletic competition for high school students, at the tetratlon meetings where our students achieved the weakest results, in many cases,
being excluded from further access. In the 2009 - 2010 school year we devised and successfully accomplished the beautifying of the gymnastics garden and starting from this with students, but with even more enthusiastic old students and helpful colleagues, we designed a pop-up pit preparation, which is also next to the newly renovated gymnasium and means the beautification of the nearby area, too.
We hope that this little attempt in the athletic field sports, athletics will encourage students to compete in long-jump, as well as a long-term regular sporting as well.
Here is the appeal, but we still accept donations or any kind of help.
Appeal for the 2nd beautifying and arranging action of the gymnastics garden
The enthusiastic and helpful old student, Csaba Kelemen's initiative we accomplished the work which has been included in the program of the 2009-2010 academic year- the renovation and modernization of the gymnastics garden. In the 2010-2011 school year, we want to continue the work in the gymnastics garden, adding a new pop-up pit and creating a running track required for long jumps. If thegymnastics garden's grassing fails because of the lack of necessary funds, the area next to the gym hall will be renovated with less financial contribution and less labor.
Thank again for all of the last year's support, to old students, students and all of our staff for the help and cooperation, and we hope that this appeal will be welcomed, too.
Do not hesitate, please contact (Csaba Kelemen, Ferenc Kerekes) old students, organizers! Experience how good is to do good!
