What is the current situation and countermeasures of baseball courses in Beijing colleges and universities?

Baseball as a sport has been introduced to China for more than 100 years, but due to the limitations of various conditions, baseball has not been widely popularized in China. The foundation of the development and popularization of baseball is the participation of the masses, and schools are one of the most important ways to popularize baseball among the masses.

I, the current situation of baseball courses in Beijing colleges and universities

(1) Insufficient support for baseball courses in schools

After a survey of the front-line teachers in some colleges and universities in Beijing, we know that some of them like baseball and are willing to carry out the baseball courses, but they can't carry out the teaching of baseball courses smoothly due to many factors. For example, some schools feel that baseball is a dangerous sport, and they are afraid that students will be injured in the course, and the instability of baseball batting may cause injury to people outside the field, thus restricting the development of baseball courses.

(2) Restricted by the conditions of the field equipment

Because of the uniqueness of the baseball equipment, baseball has been called an "aristocratic sport", such as an ordinary bat sold for as low as 700-800 yuan, an ordinary glove as low as 500-600 yuan, and even an ordinary hard ball is sold for as much as 500-600 yuan. An ordinary bat costs 700-800 RMB, an ordinary glove costs 500-600 RMB, and an ordinary hard ball costs 30-40 RMB. It is this expensive equipment that discourages most colleges and universities from offering baseball programs.

(3) Lack of baseball teachers

Because of the historical reasons, the popularity of baseball in China is very low, the mass base is very weak, the development of baseball in colleges and universities is very slow, and there are no teachers specializing in baseball teaching in colleges and universities, which directly affects the improvement of the level of baseball, and restricts the development of baseball in colleges and universities.

Second, the countermeasures of baseball courses in Beijing colleges and universities

(1) Playing the advantages of colleges and universities, and seeking for partners

In order to develop a sports program in colleges and universities, the first step is to improve the influence of the program in the students, and the influence has to be realized through the high level of the game. The construction of high-level sports teams needs a lot of financial support, so with the help of certain corporate sponsorship, can solve the problem of insufficient funds in colleges and universities.

(2) Cultivate excellent first-line teachers and coaches

The number of first-line teachers and coaches in colleges and universities is the main factor affecting the development of college programs. At present, the training of baseball teachers and coaches in Beijing is mainly through the baseball and softball training courses organized annually by the baseball and softball branch of the Major Sports Association. Major League Baseball has also organized baseball coach training in Beijing, sending a large number of first-line coaches to elementary schools in Beijing.

(3) Use of baseball clubs in Beijing colleges and universities to provide instruction for baseball courses

Beijing colleges and universities have their own sports clubs, and the schools can recruit baseball-loving students to join the clubs, and the physical education teachers can provide some guidance in the clubs to enhance the development of baseball. After the school baseball program, you can use the combination of classroom and extracurricular means to promote the development of baseball in colleges and universities.
