Keeping Kids Active During School Holidays: Why Holiday Sports Clinics Matter

School holidays are often a time for rest and relaxation, but too much downtime can lead to inactivity, increased screen time, and lost opportunities to develop movement skills. For children, staying active during breaks is essential — not only for physical health, but also for social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Holiday sports clinics provide an ideal solution, combining fun, skill-building, and social interaction in a safe, structured environment.

Why Active Holidays Are Important

Children’s bodies and minds thrive when they are regularly active. Periods of inactivity can lead to:

• Reduced coordination and fitness levels

• Restlessness or behavioural issues

• Decreased motivation to participate in sports

• Missed opportunities to practice skills learned during the term

Holiday programs ensure that children maintain their physical literacy while enjoying the freedom of a break from school routines.

Benefits of Multisport Holiday Clinics

Holiday clinics offer more than just exercise. At Ready Set Sport, we design our programs to be:

• Inclusive: All abilities are welcome, from first-timers to confident movers.

• Skill-Focused: Children practice running, jumping, throwing, catching, balance, and coordination through fun games.

• Varied: Multiple sports and activities keep sessions engaging and exciting.

• Social: Kids build teamwork, communication skills, and friendships in a supportive environment.

• Pressure-Free: Emphasis is on enjoyment and participation rather than competition.

These elements combine to create a holistic, enjoyable experience that benefits children physically, socially, and emotionally.

Creating Positive Holiday Experiences

Children who participate in holiday sports clinics often return to school with:

• Improved movement skills and confidence

• Renewed energy and enthusiasm for sport

• Better social connections with peers

• Positive memories that reinforce their love of being active

A structured holiday program gives children the chance to move, explore, and learn in a way that casual free play or screen time cannot replicate.

We focus on creating high-energy, fun, and inclusive sessions where children can try new sports, build confidence, and experience the joy of movement — all without pressure or competition.
