New organisation aims to encourage children to lead more active lives

An independent register of children’s activity professionals has been created by SkillsActive to build on the Olympic legacy and counter the rising trend of inactivity in young people.

Capre aims to ensure that professionals delivering games, sports, or any other kind of physical activity to children are qualified to deliver instruction and create positive sport experiences for young people by signing them up to its register. 

greg-small-capreGreg Small, Capre’s head of membership, said, ‘We have to look at what is happening at school level and at an early years level in order to turn back this tide of inactivity. What we learn in the early years we do carry through into later life, and if you are not taught the foundation of a healthy lifestyle you can’t be expected to follow that on into adulthood.’
