Active Lunchtimes
Structured play and activity that transforms the lunchtime experience.
The Initiative
Foundation Sports & Play Herts are one of the county's leading independent coaching companies, coaching children from Key Stage One upwards. Our initiative, Active Lunchtimes, has proved enormously successful in many schools.
Foundation Sports created Active Lunchtimes to get children active during the lunch hour, and in some cases to keep children busy and out of mischief. We believe that all children, whatever their circumstances or abilities, should be able to take part in and enjoy sport. Sport can improve a child's confidence to get involved, and an Active Lunchtime session builds new skills in participation and communication, while showing a desire to improve and achieve.
The sessions are also an opportunity for midday assistants to learn from our qualified coaches. New multi-skilled games are taught to the children, all taken from our exclusive Foundation Sports curriculum. Our qualified and experienced coaches bring a level of enthusiasm that meets the energetic needs of every child within your school.
