Abstract

Under the "Double Reduction" policy, providing after-school sports services not only enhances students' physical fitness but also improves educational outcomes and promotes overall student development. Since the fall semester of 2021, Hainan Province has implemented the "Double Reduction" policy, and primary schools have gradually started offering after-school services in a "5+2" model. Currently, all compulsory education schools in the province provide after-school services, with a student participation rate of 98.18%. However, in practice, challenges include limited time and frequency of after-school sports services, insufficient variety of activities, inadequate facilities, weak teacher resources, and single-source funding. This paper proposes measures such as diversifying after-school sports activity lists, reasonably planning spaces and creating equipment conditions, establishing a diversified resource supply system, and optimizing funding sources through multi-party collaboration.
