School & Creche Sports Programmes

School & Crèche Programmes

Let’s Partner Together.

We work with our partners to encourage children in their journey towards a longterm healthy and active lifestyle by providing private Lightning Legs sessions with a customised approach to fit their specific crèche or school’s needs.

Private School & Crèche Sessions

Whether you’re looking to offer a weekly athletic programme for your children or you simply want to organise a special sports day event, by partnering with us, you can bring the unique Lightning Legs programme curriculum to your school or crèche.

We collaborate closely with each of our partners in order to design a specialised sports programme that’s suited to their needs and that they can be confident their children will love.

Lightning Legs will work with you to develop a unique solution that fits your school or crèche’s physical activity and childcare needs. Our programme is bookable according to our 10-week block term schedule. We will work with you to determine the best way to breakdown the time that you book.

To learn more about how you can bring Lightning Legs to your school or crèche, please fill out the inquiry form at the bottom of this page and a member of our team will contact you shortly.

Why it matters.

Children learn more physical skills in their first 6 years than in any other point in their lives. These skills are called Fundamental Movement Skills, and they are the building blocks for lifelong activity.

Research shows that 60 minutes of moderate intensity level physical activity per day leads to increased overall health and well-being for children.

Our Programme

Lightning Legs helps children to make the connection between physical activity and feeling good, while encouraging new friendships. We are dedicated to the growth of each individual child and truly believe that every child has the ability to succeed by keeping an open mind. Our sessions are developed according to the development stage of each group of children and the challenge level is appropriate to each age group.

Each of our sessions incorporates the development of Fundamental Movement Skills while also introducing important concepts such as healthy eating, mindfulness, teamwork, and independent thinking.

All our coaches are highly experienced athletic trainers, Garda Vetted, First Aid Certified, and trained in childcare.

Why Lightning Legs?

Lightning Legs isn’t just a regular sports programme. We’ve specifically crafted our programme with children in mind so that we could create a curriculum that would truly stimulate their growth and development in the best way possible. We don’t just stop there, we continuously update and optimise our curriculum according to children's needs and current interests in order to further encourage the children’s learning and engagement.

Our Programme Benefits:

Dynamic & Thematic Curriculum

All sessions are linked to the Aistear Curriculum Frame Work, incorporating the themes of Well-being; Identity and Belonging; Communicating; and Exploring and Thinking to stimulate children's learning and development.
Fundamental Movement Skills Development

Each Lightning Legs session incorporates the development of at least 2-3 different fundamental movement skills through engaging games and activities.
Interpersonal Skills Development

By interacting with their peers during individual and group activities, children develop important interpersonal skills such as teamwork, communication, collaboration.
1-2-1 Attention

We believe in the growth and success of each individual child, therefore we ensure that every child receives 1-2-1 interactions with coaches throughout each session.
