Keeping active is vital for kids lifelong health & wellbeing, however sKids recognises that when it comes to being active, ONE SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL. Some enjoy traditional team sports, whilst others like riding bikes/dancing with their friends just for fun. When we asked our parents what activities they would like sKids to run to keep their kids active, answers were wide ranging, including ‘just anything’ to keep their kids Active.
Based on parent input sKids Active aims to provide kids with a taster of sports/recreation codes so they can discover what they enjoy/don’t enjoy. Kids can then participate in a code of their choosing, reducing the financial burden on parents enrolling their child/ren in a first time After School sport only to find out half way through the term, their child is not enjoying it.
sKids Active is offered as part of sKids After School and Holiday Programmes, however it can easily be run as part of PE/HEALTH parts of the New Zealand National Curriculum.
