We believe in variety

At Active Kids we believe that children should be introduced to lots of different activities as each one contributes to their all round development. We offer a broad and balanced menu of activities so that children can enjoy a healthy, active life. By equipping them with a solid foundation, we provide the building blocks to confidently access any activity as they get older,

Developing core skills

Rather than focus on one particular sport, everything we do is aimed at developing a child's core physical skills such as

  • speed
  • balance
  • ball manipulation
  • working with others

Within each of these skills we encourage children along clear pathways of development. For example, in kicking skills, pre school and Reception age children play kicking games progressing to mini football for 6-7 year olds, to football games for those over 8. Similarly, hitting games progress to strike/fielding games and games over a net, then onto tennis, volleyball, badminton, cricket and rounders.

Peace of mind for you
