Change4Life Sports Clubs

We would like to see all of our schools to run an extra curricular Change4Life sports club. These clubs are to target physical activity levels in less active children in both primary and secondary schools.

This can be achieved by:

Using multi-sport themes (primary) or alternative school sports (secondary).

Using the inspiration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Responding to what children want.

Establishing a habit of regular participation.

Developing a real sense of belonging.

Changing behaviours relating to key health outcomes (including healthy eating, physical activity and emotional health).
