Sport is amazing. There is nothing else quite like it as brings whole nations together, lifts people up in times of crisis and improves physical and mental wellbeing. The recent Covid-19 pandemic has only highlighted the importance of being active as the country only left their houses for daily exercise – this was the highlight of the day. It also [...]
You may have heard me mention Fundamental Movement Skills several times before, but do you know what they are and why they are so important that EVERY game and activity in our sessions are based on these skills? We want our children to be happy, healthy and confident, now and in their future but unless they are active this may [...]
Did you guess? We both wear a yellow kit of course! But why is wearing a team kit so important and something we want to encourage when you come to our classes? There are the more obvious reasons – Identity, the most fundamental feature so you can distinguish between competing teams and players during a game. Unity – to feel part [...]
Recently, I received a message via Facebook and one sentence jumped out to me: I can’t see much information on your page.

(When I talk about parents, I am referring to any parent, guardian, aunt, uncle, grandad, nana etc who brings a child to one of our sessions!) From our perspective, it is a chance to [...]
Now, I don’t think I’ve mentioned it but Leapfrog Sports recently won an award.. best for getting active (we also came runners up in the Best for Toddlers too!) I am very proud of this award because we really believe in the importance of getting children active, for both their physical and mental well-being. But do you know how much [...]
I LOVE our classes, I really do. In fact the whole way they are designed is because I am a parent with active children and I couldn’t find any other sessions like these and I was sure that other children and parents would love our classes too. Last week I released our brand new video and some pictures I had [...]
