Mini games
Mini Games are designed to be an inclusive and enjoyable way for Young People to learn the fundamentals of Sport in an interactive way. We use mini games for Primary school Children and it is particularly successful for mixed sexed groups as most of the games are non-contact games.
Team building and transition
In regard to team building we attempt to incorporate this into all the sessions that we run. These activities tend to involve group cohesion and strategy which is aimed at developing communication, leadership and problem solving. These sessions are very popular in a school setting due to the tasks being inclusive and suitable for groups with a large age range.
