Kelly Sports: Children enjoy October holiday programme

The Kelly Sports Taranaki October holiday programme was held in Stratford.

A sports programme has kept kids active during the October school holidays.

Carl Robb, of Kelly Sports Taranaki says the children completed a range of sporting activities during the programme.

"We played winter sports like rugby and football and completed obstacle course and sack races. It's great, all the kids enjoyed it."

Taranaki Kelly Sports holds sports coaching sessions at primary schools.

"I go to the schools and teach the children fundamental skills like catching, hopping, dodging, running and jumping. It's all about fitness and getting kids fit and healthy."

He says this is the first holiday programme Kelly Sports have run in the Taranaki region.

"The programme gave children opportunities to do the things they love in a supportive and encouraging environment. Our friendly staff are passionate about working with children. They are trained in delivering fun activities, first aid and behaviour management."
