In 2002 ActivKids developed a fitness development programme to encourage children to lead a more active lifestyle. The programme mixes games, play and more recognised exercise programmes together in a fun and safe way, which is suitable for all children aged 4 to 11 years. 

The programme is practical and flexible. It does not require large areas of space or expensive, specialist equipment. The programme has been designed so that children can play the games or exercise at home or school. Children are familiar with the kit that we use which inspires confidence. The programme can take place indoors or outside. 

The programme also provides a ‘level playing field’ and encourages inclusion so that children with special needs can participate equally with their peers, as takes place on many of our courses.

The development of ActivKids saw the introduction of new programmes for different ages, programmes with educational objectives and family based programmes. The need for quality training for coaches, instructors and teachers was addressed
with new training courses designed with accreditation to follow 

ActivKids has taken significant steps in the past few years and we intend to take further strides to help children and youths enjoy physical activity!
