If you get closer, you’ll be amazed at the grand sight that 1,400 students move all to⁃ gether to the music, practicing volleyball exercises like dig⁃ ging or passing on the playground.

"Everyone in our school has a volleyball of his own. Everyone plays volleyball and everyone loves it", said Zhong Zhi, headmaster of the school. Located in Jiapai County, Yinglin Town, which is honored "A land of Volley⁃ ball", the school has been greatly influenced by the atmo⁃ sphere and has launched the feature project of volleyball teaching and practicing since its establishment in 2014.

Zhang Mingxuan, a tall boy in Grade Six, said, "I’ve had the companion of volleyball for all the six years in pri⁃ mary school." He was enrolled in the school team in Grade Three and has become a piker. Recently, the team has been actively preparing for Volleyball League of Ying⁃ lin Primary and Secondary Schools, set to kick off in No⁃ vember.

"The best of learning to play volleyball is that I grow taller and much stronger", said the girl Liu Yilin. At very beginning, she was so awkward that she could only do throw-and-dig for 6 times, while now her best record is a continuous practicing for more than 200 times.

It is worth mentioning that the school has introduced volleyball to the family of each student, so that children and their parents could enjoy playing volleyball together.

The award of National Feature School of Volleyball is so cheerful and inspirational to teachers and students that they all declare further commitment to the project. "In the next stage, more resources and platform will be drawn so that students could benefit more and enjoy more from learn⁃ ing to play volleyball", said the headmaster.

  

Feature School of Basketball Zifeng Basketball Wows People

"Wow" is the first word com⁃ ing to people’s mind when mention⁃ ing basketball team of Zifeng Mid⁃ dle School. Yes! In the Hornor Room stand rows of shining tro⁃ phies and plaques!

Zifeng Basketball has become the pride of Jinjiang basketball lov⁃ ers in recent years after playing times for Quanzhou and Fujian Province and winning piles of med⁃ als in various Middle School Basket⁃ ball Games at different levels. Wom⁃ en’s team, in particular, has won all championships in Jinjiang, Quan⁃ zhou and Fujian Middle School Bas⁃ ketball Games since its birth 5 years ago. Completing five trophies in Quanzhou Middle School Basket⁃ ball League and Fujian Middle School Basketball Championship, it played for Fujian Province in Guangdong- Hongkong- Macao- Fujian Invitational Tournament 2018 and won the second place.

"School basketball gave me many competition opportunities and helped me enter my favorite univer⁃ sity", Chen Zhengling said, graduat⁃ ing from Zifeng Middle School this year, once a member of its women’ s basketball team. She had won the championship 3 times in Fujian Middle School Basketball Champion⁃ ship. Now, as a student in Institute of Physical Education, Shanxi Nor⁃ mal University, she quite missed the basketball days in Zifeng Mid⁃ dle School.

Students all can experience the joy of basketball at the school, and it becomes their close friend. Since its start of basketball education, the school has offered basketball cours⁃ es once a week. The Sporting Group also self- edited a textbook on basketball teaching and training for students’ basic knowledge and skills at basketball. Now, Students at the school basically can watch and comment games.

"Competition is the charm of sports", Shi Huaxiong, the head⁃ master of Zifeng Middle School said. Students are encouraged and organized to watch games online and offline, they learn in gamewatching. It is a way to arouse and keep their interest in basket⁃ ball.

  

Feature School of Football The most Vibrant Scene of Xinyang Primary School

"Students are very relaxed and happy when playing football, and that's what it is all about." Xu Yuhuan, headmaster of Xinyang Prima⁃ ry School, pointed at the children who are running freely on the field and smiled, "it’s the most vibrant scene of the campus."

In 2015, Xinyang Primary School was enrolled as one of the first nation⁃ al feature schools of football. In re⁃ cent years, Xinyang primary School football team has gained prominence. In the Quanzhou Primary School Foot⁃ ball League 2019, girls' football team stood out from 26 teams and won the first championship of Jinjiang's team.

It is worth mentioning that the girls' football team of Xinyang Primary School has broken the stereotype that "sports practice will interfere with chil⁃ dren’s study". Among the 10 mem⁃ bers, more than half of them ranked top three in the class, making them truly excellent students. The other sev⁃ eral members also achieved good aca⁃ demic performance.

"The kids have proved to us that playing football does not inter⁃ fere with their study, on the contrary, it benefits their intellectual develop⁃ ment." Watching her daughter Ye Jingmei and his teammates happily holding up the trophy, Wu Fengjin looked proud. However, five years ago, when her daughter decided to learn to play football, Wu Fengjin ob⁃ jected. In her opinion, girls are not suitable to play football, not only be⁃ cause they easily get hurt, but be⁃ cause football time displaces the time that they could spend doing home⁃ work. With her daughter's repeated as⁃ surances, Wu Fengjin reluctantly let go. Now, every time when she talks about her daughter, she will be grate⁃ ful to the school and be glad that she did not kill her interest.

Nowadays, Ye Jingmei is not only the captain of the school's girl's foot⁃ ball team, but also ranks among the best in the class. She has also achieved success in piano, calligraphy, singing, and dance. "My teacher tells us that playing football is not easy. Only by improving academic perfor⁃ mance can we better implement the tactical intentions on the pitch. There⁃ fore, we play hard and study hard." Ye Jingmei says she has grown from a crybaby into a strong- minded girl by playing football.

The coach corrected my movements patiently. I can skate very smoothly now and learn some new tricks. " Ding Zhiqing practices roller skating with many students and enjoys the fun of it.

"Chendai is a strong sports town and the birth⁃ place of many well- known sports brands (Anta, Xtep, 361°, Guirenniao, etc.). Various sports are be⁃ coming more popular, and the main stadium of Gym⁃ nasiade is also located here. The school cannot natu⁃ rally fall behind.

　　“在我们学校，人人一个排球，人人会打排球，人人喜爱排球。”晋江市第十实验小学校长钟志向介绍，学校位于全国“排球之乡”英林镇嘉排村，这里排球氛围浓厚。2014年学校创办后，便“入乡随俗”，将排球作为学校一大特色项目，大力发展排球运动。

　　“我的小学生活，都有排球的陪伴。”就读六年级的张铭轩个头高高的，三年级时就进了校队，成为一名主攻手。目前，他正和队员们积极备战将于11月举行的英林镇中小学生排球联赛。

　　“学习排球最开心的是我长高了，体质更好了。”女生刘奕灵说，刚接触排球时，自己是手足无措的，一抛一垫最多只能6下；如今，她的最高纪录是一口气一抛一垫200多下。

　　值得一提的是，晋江市第十实验小学还将排球这项运动延伸到每一个家庭，邀请家长和孩子一起打排球，享受别样的亲子时光。

　　此次获评全国青少年校园排球特色学校，晋江十小的师生们很是开心，同时也充满干劲，要将排球运动发展得更好。钟志向表示，接下去，学校将进一步挖掘资源，创设更多的平台，让学生们都能学所有得、学有所乐。

　　篮球特色学校紫峰中学：我们的篮球很“能打”

　　说起紫峰中学篮球，很多人脑海中浮现的两个字就是“能打”。不信？你瞧，学校荣誉室里，校篮球队打下的那一座座奖杯、一块块牌匾是那么耀眼。

　　近年来，紫峰篮球一跃成为了喜爱篮球的晋江人的骄傲，在省、市、县各类中学生篮球比赛中摘金夺银，多次代表泉州市、福建省出赛。尤其是女队，组队5年以来，包揽了晋江、泉州市、福建省中学生篮球赛的所有冠军，是泉州市中学生篮球联赛、福建省中学生篮球锦标赛的五冠王，并且代表福建省参加2018年的粤港澳闽四地邀请赛取得了第二名的好成绩。

　　“学校开展篮球教育，给了我很多机会参加比赛，也助我考上了心仪的大学。”今年毕业于紫峰中学的陈征玲，高中时期曾作为校女子篮球队队员，3次征战福建省中学生篮球锦标赛，并三次夺冠。如今就读于山西师范大学体育学院的她，仍十分怀念在紫峰中学打球的时光。

　　在紫峰中学，不仅陈征玲，所有学生都能领略到篮球的魅力，篮球成为了不少同学的“知心好友“。原来，自开展篮球教育以来，学校坚持基础年段每周一节篮球课，利用校本教材，进行各年级的篮球基本技术的教学和训练。体育组还自编了一套篮球教学和训练的教材，向学生普及篮球基本知识和技能。如今，紫峰中学的学生基本上都能做到看球和评球了。

　　“竞技，是体育的魅力所在。”紫峰中学校长施华雄说，开展比赛也是学校让学生喜欢、热爱、参与篮球活动的方法之一。在开展篮球活动的过程中，教师会有意识地组织学生观看篮球比赛，提醒学生回家观看各种篮球比赛直播，让他们在观赛中学习，让他们的兴趣能持久地保持下去。

　　足球特色学校心养小学：校园最具活力的风景

　　“你看，学生踢起足球，整个人的状态是非常放松和快乐的，这也是我们开展足球这项运动的意义所在。”心养小学校长许玉环指着绿茵场上自由奔跑的孩子们，笑着说，每天，这片绿茵草地上都有孩子们的欢笑声，是校园最具活力的一道风景。

　　2015年，心养小学获评首批全国青少年校园足球特色校，近年来，心养小学足球更是风头强盛。其中，在2019年泉州市小学生校园足球联赛中，心养小学女子足球队从26支队伍中脱颖而出，夺得晋江代表队在该联赛中的首个冠军。

　　值得一提的是，心养小学女子足球队打破了很多人对“练体育会影响学习”的刻板印象，全队10名队员中，一半以上成绩长期稳居班级前三，是名副其实的学霸，其他几名队员成绩也不错。

　　“孩子用实力征服了我们，向我们证明了，踢足球并不会影响学习，反而能够以体促智。”看着女儿叶靖玫和队友高举奖杯的开心样子，吴凤金一脸骄傲。然而，5年前，在女儿决定学习踢足球时，吴凤金是拒绝的。在她看来，女孩子并不适合踢足球，不仅很容易受伤，而且每天都要训练，占用了很多学习时间。在女儿的再三保证下，吴凤金才勉强松口。现在，每每谈起女儿，她都会庆幸自己当初没有扼杀掉孩子的兴趣，也感激学校多年来的栽培。

　　如今，叶靖玫不仅是学校女子足球队的队长，学习成绩在班级名列前茅，钢琴、书法、唱歌、舞蹈等也学有所成。“老师告诉我们，踢足球并不容易，把学习成绩提上去了，才能更好地执行球场上的战术意图。所以，踢足球的时候，我们也没有放弃学习。”叶靖玫说，以前弱小爱哭的自己，也因为足球运动而变得坚强了。

　　冰雪特色学校晋江市第五实验小学：学生上演“速度与激情”

　　在晋江市第五实验小学，轮滑作为学校体育运动的新名片，深受学生的喜爱，他们不仅感受到了体育运动的魅力，也从中成长了不少。

　　跟着教练学了几次轮滑后，四年级的丁芷晴觉得自己变得勇敢了。“一开始会有些害怕，也滑倒过很多次。老师很耐心地纠正我的动作，你看，现在我已经可以滑得很顺畅，也在学习一些新花招。”和志同道合的同学们一起练习轮滑，丁芷晴满心欢喜，尽情享受着轮滑的乐趣。

　　“陈埭是体育强镇，是全国多个著名运动品牌的发祥地（安踏、特步、361度、贵人鸟等），各项体育运动蔚然成风，再加上世中运主场馆二体中心也坐落在这里，作为学校，我们自然不能‘落后’，要紧跟潮流，开展多样体育运动。因此，轮滑运动应运而生。”晋江五小校长徐建平介绍，学校将体育作为办学特色，开设了“五彩课程”，培育“五气”少年。其中，绿色课程就是强体魄，增“大气”。自从大胆引进轮滑这项时尚和新兴的运动后，学生们的校园生活更多彩了。 

　　如今，晋江五小轮滑队伍有30多人，每天大课间或学校少年宫时间，成员们都会齐聚一堂，在学校冰雪（轮滑）专项体育老师或轮滑专职外聘教师的指导下，进行基本功训练。每周二、三、四下午放学时分，也是轮滑队成员的集中训练时间，他们的身影总能吸引很多学生和家长驻足观看。轮滑这一运动越来越被同学所熟知，也吸引了越来越多同学申请加入。
