LiveArgyll helps home schoolers stay fit and active
With sports and recreation facilities closed at the moment, young people are finding other ways to stay active, with the help of the LiveArgyll Active Schools team.
Home schooling may be here for a while, even with a planned phased return for certain age groups, but LiveArgyll Active Schools has plenty online ideas to have fun and get moving between lessons in the living room.
Active Schools is a national programme, in partnership with sportscotland, with the aim of providing opportunities to take part in sport and physical activity before, during and after school and develop effective pathways between schools and sports clubs in the community.
On the LiveArgyll website, the Active Schools team says: ‘While you are unable to attend school and take part in your normal school extra-curricular clubs, we are keen to support you being as active as possible.
‘The LiveArgyll Active Schools and Sport team realises the importance and benefits of physical activity for everyone and wishes to provide every child with the opportunity to participate in the activities provided.
‘We have a variety of different lengths and intensities of activity to suit the mood you are in.
‘Whether you’re looking for a quick ‘shake up’ in between classes, or a longer workout at the beginning or end of the day, we’re here to help.’
Check it out by visiting the LiveArgyll website www.liveargyll.co.uk and searching ‘active schools’ or follow the team on Twitter (@
