Active Children Training Act

Military inspired fitness and well being sessions for schools for ages 4 to 16

ACT will motivate mind muscle and soul in every session.

Recent figures show that around 38% of boys and 28% of girls aged 2 to 15 were
classed as overweight or obese. (Source: NHS Statistics on obesity physical
activity and diet 3013)


At ACT we understand that everyone sees the world differently; some children
find activities more achievable than others. We want children to feel empowered
by their efforts – no matter the outcome. It is important to us just to get kids
moving and have fun at the same time.


Early encouragement and success are the key components to help your child
develop mentally and physically in their early years.


ACT understands that time is tight during the school day and fitting extra
components to the curriculum is difficult. Our programme isn’t limited to physical
education: the sessions offer so much more. From our recent visit to Hermitage
Academy and Rhu Primary the children left feeling energised, stimulated,
challenged and educated. The level of feedback received was intelligent and
articulate and kids generally left with a sense of achievement and satisfaction.


It is our intention to expose the children to a two and half hour session.
The activities will be a mix of physical and mental challenges including
interactive quizzes, memory tests and team challenges.

During the day we will maintain maximum activity and participation throughout,
keeping the children occupied and motivated.


ACT operate using military style commands and instructional techniques to
maintain a controlled and disciplined atmosphere. Our main focus throughout is
that the children are having fun.


Using our experience as military instructors and coaches in training the UK’s elite
forces, we want to approach the children from a different angle to make the
sessions refreshing and to give them a different prospective to a normal lesson.

Children need to be taken out of their comfort zones to help them grow in
confidence and be encouraged to undertake exercise through games, sport or
competition.


How will we achieve this?


• Military ethos: Discipline, Leadership, Respect, Team work, Command and
control, camaraderie, Life in the forces.

• Fitness: Fun, Competition, Team games, Circuits, Fun, Functional fitness,
Commando Conditioning, After school clubs.

• Diet and Nutrition: Education, Interactive sessions, Importance of Hydration
and eating the correct foods, what to stay away from.

• Challenge: Leadership tasks. Observation and Memory tasks, Team challenges,
Problem solving.


Why Choose ACT?

new teaching methods.

exercise children simultaneously.
