Change for Life & Whizz Kidz
Change 4 Life Sports Clubs is an exciting programme that aims to harness the inspiration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to engage less-active* primary and secondary aged school children in physical activity and school sport.
Change4Life Sport Clubs take the principles and specific skills from a range of Olympic and Paralympic sports and place them in a fun, vibrant and exciting activity club giving young people the confidence and competence to take part in lifelong physical activity.
Schools can help engage less-active children in physical activity and school sport by setting up a Change4Life Sports Club.
Schools can use their additional school sport funding to set up a Change4Life Sports Club in their area. For more information or to purchase a club package, go to Youth Sport Direct’s Change4Life Sports Club page.
