Carnivals
Trained Aussie Rules UK coaches will visit your school and reinvigorate PE lessons using a fun, safe, non-contact form of Australian football that can be played by boys and girls of all ages – and offers a fun alternative to traditional team sports. By placing the emphasis on participation and inclusiveness, the aim is to help address rising obesity levels among children while also providing a positive focus for children’s personal and social development.
The program is of 4 weeks duration as follows:
- Week 1 - Skills
- Week 2 - Skills
- Week 3 - Game
- Week 4 - Carnival Day involving other schools
Each child receives a football. The provision of a football to each child is particularly important. Giving a football to each child will enable them to receive significant fitness and lifestyle benefits well beyond the initial 4 weeks of the program. They will be encouraged to hone their skills by kicking the football with their peers, siblings and/or parents. This will result in the fitness and lifestyle benefits of Aussie Rules Schools being extended to the wider community.
