About Us
Inspiring Lifelong Skills Through Sport
More Than Sport provides high quality sport sessions for children 18 months -11 years old. The company uses sport as a vehicle to build life long skills within children such as hard work, dedication, perseverance and problem solving. We provide games-based sessions to try and incorporate these values and ensure that children leave our sessions with more than they came in with. Our ideology derives from a TGFU (Teaching games for understanding) theoretical model which allows participants to enjoy their sport through games based and conditioned sessions as opposed to drill based exercises which ultimately enables participants to enjoy themselves and have fun practically as well as developing themselves cognitively as critical thinkers.
Our aim is to create an environment where children can have fun by engaging in creative and innovative sports sessions but also gain skills that will aid their development physically, psychologically, mentally and socially.
Children often develop the knowledge required to read, write and develop numerical skills through the national curriculum but the soft and hard skills you need to develop your character in life are built through sport. Determination, hard work, perseverance and winning or losing are all things that will need to be developed in life.
