England Athletics & funetics
England Athletics and funetics has fast forwarded the launch of our new funetics activity videos*. The videos demonstrate parents and children (aged 4-11) taking part in FUN activities based on fundamental core movement skills: running, jumping and throwing.
funetics is a programme that has been designed to reflect the requirements of the National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2. At this time when our children are currently being schooled by parents, we hope that these video activities will support the need for physical education to continue at home.
England Athetics - supporting older children (11+)
To support parents and young athletes to keep active in these challenging times, England Athletics are providing two of our Athletics 365 resources free of charge for a limited time. We’re making our Athletics 365 Athlete Handbooks (1 and 2) available free of charge (normally each handbook costs £9.99). This offer will be available until 30 September 2020.
The Athletics 365 Athlete Handbooks have been designed to help athletes measure and record their progress through the Athletics 365 programme. Suitable for children over 11 years of age, as well as adults, the handbooks include information on how to complete challenges and fun activities at home at this time.
This in-App resource also provides supporting videos for these challenges to help further bring them to life. Parents can also use these resources to help their children learn and practice these challenges at home.Accessing these resources couldn’t be simpler; all you need to do is download the Athletics 365 App (if you haven’t already) and then download the handbooks from the in-App resources section.
