Daily fitness at five o'clock from the Youth Sport Trust!

Added on by Kate Sims.

Every weekday at 5pm, starting on Thurdsay 12.11.20 until the end of term (18 December), the Youth Sport Trust will be running a 30-minute online After School Sport Club for all children and young people to do some sport, develop skills and, most importantly, have fun!

Many of our children are missing out on their usual sport clubs. The Youth Sport Trust’s After School Sport Club is here to help all young people feel part of a club that helps them develop skills and learn something new. It is about much more than physical fitness. It will help children develop physical literacy and confidence to try lots of new sports, helping all children find a sport for them.

The After School Sport Club will be led by Athlete Mentors from different backgrounds, abilities and sports. The first session will take place on Thursday 12 November at 5pm, with the world’s number one female inline skater and ten times British Champion, Jenna Downing.

Join in with the live broadcast for free on the YST YouTube channel -(https://www.youtube.com/user/YouthSportTrust).

The different daily themes are below:

  • Adventure Monday – This might involve getting children to do floor, wall climbing and map reading all within their living room

  • Tuesday Play – Imaginative play utilising resources in the house to create games and activities to get active

  • Wild Wednesday – Some high tempo competitive activities involving personal challenges

  • Thinking Thursday – Introducing cognitive challenges for children through movement. Active noughts and crosses and introducing an element of competition – whether that be against themselves, the clock, their siblings or remotely with friends

  • Fun Friday – A chance for children to let loose and have some fun. Dancing and doing what makes them feel good.

I’m looking forward to hearing from those who get involved!
