After school clubs- Youth sports trust16 November 2020 (by Ryan Morris (Ryan)) |
#YSTAfterSchool @YouthSportTrust
Whilst we have had to postpone after school clubs and our pupils are not able to access many of their sports clubs or activities outside of school during this time the Youth Sport Trust have created the YSTAfterSchool clubs programme online.
The Youth Sport Trust’s After School Sport Club will be a live after school sports session led by Athlete Mentors and will be on the YST YouTube Channel every day from 5pm during lockdown. The clubs are about much more than physical fitness. It will help children develop physical literacy and confidence to try lots of new sports, helping all children find a sport for them.
The After School Sport Club will be led by Athlete Mentors from different backgrounds, abilities and sports. Every day at 5pm from 16 November until 18 December, children and young people can join in with the live broadcast for free on our YouTube channel.
Join in the conversation on social using #YSTAfterSchool and tagging @YouthSportTrust across all social media channels. You might need items from around your home for some sessions, but we’ll give some ideas ahead of each club to adapt if you don’t have these items.
The different daily themes are below:
- Adventure Monday – This might involve getting children to do floor, wall climbing and map reading all within their living room
- Tuesday Play – Imaginative play utilising resources in the house to create games and activities to get active
- Wild Wednesday – Some high tempo competitive activities involving personal challenges
- Thinking Thursday – Introducing cognitive challenges for children through movement. Active noughts and crosses and introducing an element of competition – whether that be against themselves, the clock, their siblings or remotely with friends
- Fun Friday – A chance for children to let loose and have some fun. Dancing and doing what makes them feel good.
Take part and have fun. Mr Morris :)
