What are the current situation and countermeasures of offering baseball courses in universities in Beijing?

As a sport, baseball has been introduced to China for more than 100 years. However, due to various conditions, baseball has not been widely popularized in China. The development and popularization of baseball is based on the participation of the masses, and schools are one of the important ways to popularize baseball among the masses.

First, the status quo of college baseball courses in Beijing

(1) The school does not give enough support to offering baseball courses.

Through the investigation of front-line teachers in some universities in Beijing, we know that some teachers like baseball and are willing to carry out baseball courses, but due to many factors, baseball courses cannot be taught smoothly. For example, some schools think that baseball is more dangerous, and students are afraid of being injured in the course. There are unstable factors in baseball hitting, which may cause harm to people outside the stadium, thus restricting the development of baseball courses.

(2) Limited by field equipment conditions

Because of the uniqueness of baseball equipment, baseball has always been called "aristocratic sport" For example, the lowest price of an ordinary bat is 700~800 RMB, the lowest price of an ordinary glove is 500~600 RMB, and even an ordinary hard ball costs 30~40 RMB. It is these expensive equipment that prevent most colleges and universities from offering baseball courses.

(3) The school lacks baseball teachers.

Due to historical reasons, the popularity of baseball in China is very low, the mass base is also 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 baseball level and restricts the development of baseball in colleges and universities.

Second, Beijing University Baseball Curriculum Countermeasures

(1) Give full play to the advantages of universities and seek partners.

To develop a sports program in colleges and universities, we must first improve the influence of this program among students, and the influence must be achieved through high-level competitions. The construction of high-level sports teams needs a lot of financial support, so with the help of certain corporate sponsorship, the problem of insufficient funds in colleges and universities can be solved.

(2) Training excellent front-line teachers and coaches.

The number of front-line teachers and coaches in colleges and universities is the main factor affecting the curriculum development in colleges and universities. At present, the training of baseball teachers and coaches in Beijing is mainly through the baseball and softball training courses held by baseball and softball branches of major sports associations every year. Major League Baseball also held baseball and softball coach training in Beijing, and sent a large number of first-line coaches to primary schools in Beijing.

(3) Use the baseball clubs of universities in Beijing to provide teaching AIDS for baseball courses.

All major universities in Beijing have their own sports clubs. Schools can recruit students who like baseball through clubs, and physical education teachers can give some guidance in clubs to increase the development of baseball. After the school offers baseball courses, it can promote the development of baseball in colleges and universities through the combination of in-class and out-of-class means.
