ActivSports Multi-sports

 

Activsports run multi-sports after school clubs on Wednesdays for year 3 and 4 and Fridays for year 5 and 6. The aim of the club is to introduce new sports to children that may or may not have played before. Each session addresses many of the sports fundamentals that we would like to see children develop more than being placed into single sported environments at such young and influential ages.

 

Activsports cover many sports such as football, rugby, basketball, hockey, tennis, dodgeball etc. playing a different sport each week.

 

All sessions are run by fully qualified sports coaches who have worked in various sporting fields and gained a wide range of qualifications. Each coach has an enhanced CRB check along with a recognised Child Protection Training and First Aid qualification.

Change4Life

Change 4 Life is run during Friday lunchtime and is led by a coach from ActivSports. The club teaches the children the importance of leading healthy active lifestyles through increasing activity levels. It is aimed at those children who don't enjoy the typical traditional games that are played on the playground e.g. football which are highly competitive. It provides children with an extensive range of high quality equipment for children to explore and develop their own activities, games and skills. Children can participate in group activities or can work independently. The children are taught the importance of being active in a creative and motivating way.
