How Do We Provide Exciting Sports Provision in Schools?

The key and most effective way why we provide exciting sports provision to schools is delivering  Flexy Sports Programmes according to the requirements of a school. The Flexy Sports Programme offers unique, modern, flexible, friendly and child and participant centred sporting activities through a set of key objectives.

  1. To raise children, young people and adults self-esteem, motivation and opportunities in the community through the participation of Run Fun Starz Group's Flexy Sports Programmes

  1. To provide inclusive sessions that will facilitate each and every individual child, young person and adult’s level of sporting experience and ability through fun and enjoyment

  1. To be a platform for children, young people and adults who seek ample practice to enhance their skills

  1. To help children, young people and adults build and enhance basic social skills required to continue a healthy and active lifestyle in the future

FSP gives the participants the experience they want through key elements. This the reason the Run Fun Starz Group makes an effort to understand why participants take an interest in the programme from the beginning. according to the answers provided in the Session Interest Form. There are three main elements which are incorporated in the delivery of a FSP: Experience, Physical and Psychological. The Flexy Sports Programme has an Educational Approach to make the participants feel involved in their development during the programme. As participants progress in the Flexy Sports Programmes they will go through three main Phases:

  1. Learning: Understand the benefit of the Flexy Sports Programmes on their skill learning, development and overall motivation as well as confidence.

  1. Development: Learn, recognise and accept the way of the Flexy Sports Programme methods, approaches and techniques in their given sports.

  1. Perfect Practice: Participants are now committed to the Flexy Sports Programmes through effort and time taken to attend and practice.

These three phases have been implemented because they will reduce the likelihood of confidence, trust and faith in the Flexy Sports Programmes because they have been clearly understood.
According to Pro Active East London (2007) only 18% of East London pupils (Borough of Barking & Dagenham, Bexley, Greenwich, Hackney, Havering, Lewisham, London City, Newham, Redbridge and Tower Hamlets) participate in activities run by clubs/organisations linked to their schools compared to the UK average of 27%. We give a chance to schools to change this by providing an extension of curriculum PE and provide further enrichment of skill development. Ofstead suggested that schools need to provide at least 2 hours of physical exercise a week to children. With our 15 minutes extra policy we aim to give back free play time to our pupils so that they are able to enjoy the classes for longer. Its no wonder 65% of our pupils rated our 12 Week Flexy Sports Programme as 'Very Good'. It is indicative that the longer free play available to pupils the more exciting it is to them.
The fact that the programmes offer children the opportunity to play certain sports they have never been exposed to is what differentiates the Run Fun Starz Group from others and is additionally a unique feature of the service. The Run Fun Starz Group is committed to developing a forward-looking and comprehensive Flexy Sports Programmes that will meet the needs of the children at all levels and help children become better at sports. How children think during the programmes also matters because this will ultimately affect how they feel. Subsequently, the programmes focus on psychological elements as well as physical. We can form part of schools out of school hours learning programme and support the key stage attainment targets in primary school curriculum Physical Education.
