Sessions rotate through a broad set of movement activities—scooting, skating, climbing and bouldering—alongside team games and circus skills, giving children varied physical challenges each week.

THE COMPETITION

A scored weekly challenge and end‑of‑term prize

Each session includes a warm‑up and a small, scored challenge that’s recorded; at the end of the half term the winning school receives a certificate and a small prize.

THE LOGISTICS
