SSFT Fit Kidz GO! & ROW! Programs

Since 2019 Stevenage Sporting Futures have funded the hugely successful Fit Kidz GO! Program, working with their partner schools each school year.

Fit Kidz GO! is a 4-week program that encourages year 3 and/or year 4 children to get active and achieve individual and team challenges. It consists of four weekly sessions where they get to use various pieces of functional fitness equipment. They also get to learn some bodyweight exercises, and we educate them about the muscle groups activated throughout all exercises. The children get to work individually and in pairs or small groups, and they receive a certificate on completion of the program.

Alongside this we introduced the Fit Kidz ROW! program in 2021-22, targeted specifically at year 6 pupils. Using Concept 2 rowers, as found in many gyms across the UK, we run one-off sessions that teach the true art and technique to rowing, setting the children a time and distance challenge as well as asking them to compete in the ‘Fish’ game. Again, certificates are awarded to all participating year 6 children on completion of their session.
