we should not only consider "convenience" as a single-choice question for children's extracurricular physical education classes, but also pay attention to the hidden risks and safety.
not only can food be delivered to your door, but for your child’s physical education class, parents can also “order” online and receive door-to-door teaching services from the coach.
for example, the "home sports classes" that have recently emerged in wuhan cover physical training, athletics, skipping, fighting and other skill learning, posture adjustment, physical education for the middle school entrance examination, and physical examination for civil service examinations. there are two main forms: one-on-one private teaching and group classes. most of the training equipment is brought by the coaches themselves. the training location is designated by the parents, usually in the community square or outdoor park. the market price of each class is about 300 yuan, and the cost can be shared by the number of people.
this type of personalized education service has been welcomed by parents in many places recently. it is convenient and takes place near the community, saving parents time in picking up and dropping off their children. many netizens think that "home physical education classes" are like a new kind of "takeout" and are willing to try and pay for it.

it has to be said that such "sports takeaway" can be regarded as a professional extension and beneficial supplement to school physical education classes. whether it is a small-scale group class or a one-on-one private lesson, because it is conducted at the doorstep, it is convenient for parents and can also provide targeted training for children. however, it should be noted that "convenience" cannot be regarded as a single-choice question for children to attend extracurricular physical education classes, but also the hidden risks and safety must be paid attention to.
for example, it is very convenient to train at home, but the community is a public place. not to mention the potential safety hazards of pedestrians running, children playing, and vehicles entering and exiting, there are generally few professional sports venues in the community. most of them are asphalt and concrete floors, which lack shock absorption functions and increase the risk of sports injuries when running or jumping. if a child falls or gets scratched while training in the community, who is responsible? there are also training equipment. although they are brought by the coach, these equipment should comply with the safety regulations for carrying out sports. parents may need to review and verify this.
in addition, physical education teachers who teach classes should have formal teaching qualifications. according to the "code of conduct for extracurricular sports training" issued by the general administration of sports of china in 2021, teachers should hold at least one of the following certificates: sports coach professional title certificate, social sports instructor professional qualification certificate, sports skill level certificate issued by the national single sports association, sports teacher qualification certificate, sports professional skill level certificate issued by the talent evaluation agency determined by the ministry of human resources and social security, and relevant certificates recognized by provincial (inclusive) and above sports administrative departments. in other words, teachers must hold certificates to work, which also requires parents to do a careful review.
of course, the value of "home physical education classes" is not negated by the risk and potential safety hazards. at least, parents should not only consider "convenience" when choosing courses for their children. whether placing an order with a private coach or signing a contract with a training institution, the venue, equipment, coach qualifications, whether there is synchronous video monitoring during training, how to clarify the corresponding responsibilities of children who have training injuries, etc., these should also be considered as options and included in the reference scope of parents' choice of "home physical education classes".
only by passing the "safety test" and "professional test" can we truly help children and parents open the convenient door to "home physical education classes".
