It might seem straight forwards to plan activities for children... after all, it's just gameplay? or is it.

You'll learn the intricacies of planning, including:

✔ How to plan for 5-11 year olds
✔ How to plan for 12-16 year olds
✔ Timings and intensities
✔ Session structure
✔ Planning for individual variables amongst a group
✔ Adaptations and Progressions
✔ Warm Ups and Cool Downs

Children's exercise is often seen as a series of games.

However, these games should progress, the intensity should progress and you should be able to adapt this for each child within the larger group.

During the course, you'll learn how to logically progress an activity session for children, which includes finding the BEST intensity for each child and managing it.

By the end of the course, you'll feel confident in being able to manage multiple children, each working at different intensities to suit their own fitness levels, age, and needs.

You'll also learn how a children's activity session can be used for all components of fitness, including resistance, cardiovascular, flexibility, sport-specific, and motor skills.

There are many different rules and regulations that need to be considered when working with children.

As an outstanding Children's Fitness instructor, it is important you understand how to implement all of the following guidance.

We'll teach you about:
✔ Insurances
✔ Parental Consent
✔ Par-Q forms
✔ Group ratios
✔ CRB safety checks
✔ Health and Safety
✔ Risk Assessments
✔ Music Licenses

Delivering a group class is quite different from a 121 or small group session.

On the course, you'll gain the confidence to talk and coach in front of larger groups.

Plus learn the intricacies of voice projection, voice control, and pitch so you can relate to all of the children.

You'll also learn what to say, where to stand and move, how to progress individuals and control each session as a leader.

What's more, you'll learn numerous ways how to inject fun-based gameplay into any session. This helps build rapport and an eager tribe that comes back week after week.

It's vital you leave any of our courses with a clear route to get a solid return on your investment.

During the course, you'll have 2 lectures on "how to incorporate children's activity into your current fitness business"

and "How to start a children's fitness class fresh out the gates"

Many of our learners complete the children's fitness course whilst on their level 2 gym instructor or after their level 3 personal trainer qualification.

It's crucial you have clarity on your next step on how to get found, get clients and build a solid tribe of your own.

You'll learn about the Child specific barriers and considerations you may face in your groups.

We'll teach you how to adapt your sessions to cater for these and also how to keep the sessions inclusive, including:
✔ Dyspraxia
✔ Learning Difficulties
✔ Autism
✔ Asthma
✔ Obesity
✔ Growth related injuries
✔ Gender and identity considerations
✔ and more
