Over the past two months, Fit in Wassenaar, part of SAD, has happily guided children from group 7 of the Kieviet School to become starting sports play supervisors. It was a great experience to see how the children grew in their roles and confidence
in supervising sports activities. All participants have received their certificate.
Citizenship skills
The Train-the-Pupil Program under the guidance of the neighborhood sports coach from Fit in Wassenaar offers children the opportunity to develop their citizenship skills in addition to their sporting skills. Citizenship education provides children with the knowledge, skills
and attitude they need to be able to actively participate in our society now and in the future. When supervising sports and games activities, their social skills and leadership qualities are addressed.
Benefits of exercising during the break with ‘Break sport’
Promotes physical health: Regular exercise helps children stay fit and healthy. It contributes to a healthy lifestyle and reduces the risk of obesity and other health problems.
Improves concentration: After an active break, children can concentrate better in class. Exercise stimulates blood circulation and ensures that children are more alert and focused during lessons.
Stimulates social skills: Supervised team sports promote cooperation and communication. Children learn to work together, resolve conflicts and respect each other.
Sustainability: By training children as supervisors, we ensure a sustainable approach to ‘Recess Sports’ at school. It creates a culture of active participation and involvement in sports.
Reduction of workload for teachers: By deploying the neighborhood sports coach from Fit in Wassenaar and students during the break, the workload for teachers is reduced. This gives teachers more time and space to use this time for their lessons or
actually take a break.
Proud of the results and future plans
The Kievietschool and Fit in Wassenaar are proud of what has been achieved together in a short time. We look forward to implementing this process at other schools in Wassenaar and have already started at St. Bonifacius School.
It is inspiring to see how children develop and grow through sports. Together we build a healthy and active future for our youth!
