ICanPlaySport is the best all-round introduction to sport for your child. We will:
- Give your child a good grounding in seven different sports.
- Develop your child’s agility, balance and co-ordination (the fundamentals of movement).
- Help your child develop fundamental movement skills (e.g. striking a ball, catching, throwing, jumping, landing and stopping) that they can apply in other sports as they grow up.
- Support your child’s personal, social and emotional learning.
- Help your child develop friendships with different children.
- Let your child have fun in a safe, encouraging, positive environment.
If your child is joining us in the 2/3 year olds group we expect you to be prepared to join in too and help your child if needed. Sometimes older children need a bit of reassurance to start with too.
The session content will depend on the age group of the children and the sport, but most sessions involve:
- A warm up activity
- A movement skills activity or game
- A quick drink for thirsty children
- An individual skill development activity
- An activity or game to develop or reinforce the chosen skill
- Final activity or game and goodbyes
Our Assistant Coaches help the Lead Coach. They have a level 1 coaching award in a specific sport. They have 1st aid certificates and have received recent safeguarding training.
Each child is unique and how much parental involvement they need (and want) is unique to them. Our approach is flexible and we would like you to be too.
If your friend subsequently books a place in ICanPlaySport we’ll send your child a thank you pack through the post.
Don’t worry about your child starting ‘late’, our activities will help them develop the fitness and transferable skills they need to enjoy sport. Children are welcome to ICanPlaySport right up until their 8th birthday. If you are still not sure contact us for a free trial first.
For children who join ICanPlaySport when they are 6 or older, we offer a reduced registration fee of £10.00. Just enter code 6PLUS at the checkout.
We will be happy to offer a credit for the cost of the cancelled session that can be redeemed against your next booking.
