Our Play Active sessions encourage fun-based physical activities, rather than traditional sports. The aim is to encourage children to get physically active through play, placing emphasis on inclusion rather than specific sports skills and techniques. This, in turn, improves social skills, self-esteem, balance,coordination and physical wellbeing.

In addition, children will develop a wide variety of skills that they can use beyond the sports field, including:

• Celebrating perseverance and acknowledging achievement
• Engaging and interacting appropriately with other children
• Setting achievable personal goals to reach
• Improving self-esteem and the confidence to try new things
• The ability to follow rules and respect themselves and others
• Understanding the importance of a healthy lifestyle
• Improving control, coordination, balance, agility and flexibility
• Communicating appropriately and effectively with others

Children will have a wide range of activities to keep them occupied each day such as capture the flag, parachute games, archery, dodgeball, quiet reading, watching cartoons, playing board games or completing jigsaw puzzles. Once a week we will also add specialist activities such as dance, yoga or cooking.
