Sporting Age

sporting age exists to help improve the physical literacy of primary school children. borne from the idea of children being assessed at school for a ‘reading age’ to determine what stage texts they should be reading, sporting age uses a digital platform that takes data from a series of benchmarking tests to determine a child’s individual ‘sporting age’. each child’s sporting age is then used to produce bespoke lesson plans so teachers and schools can ensure pupils in their class are being taught physical activity at a level that is appropriate for them and will help to develop their learning, understanding and level of physical literacy. in a nut shell, if a child is engaged and participating in a level of physical activity that is appropriate for their level of skill, they are much more likely to stay engaged, interested and develop a life-long awareness of the importance of physical activity as part of an ongoing healthy lifestyle.
