Christmas Cracker of a Challenge as A-Star Sports Helps Children Enjoy the Healthy Lifestyle
Yuletide youngsters can set themselves a cracking Christmas challenge this year thanks to A-Star Sports, the multi-sports coaching franchise business.
oThe award-winning UK-wide company, which offers coaching for children as young as two years old and up to 10 years old, is giving its kids the opportunity to keep up their festive fitness with its unique Star Chart Challenge.
Designed to encourage children to keep up healthy living and physical activity during the time of festive indulgence, the Challenge will also help them to reach their fitness goals throughout the rest of the year.
Sharon Bassett, the company’s director of marketing and communications and co-founder, said: “Our aim is for children to be really motivated and enthusiastic about their activities, whether or not they attend regular activities with us such as weekly classes, and the Star Chart Challenge is designed to help and inspire them through the holiday period and beyond. The resources will be available for free for everyone via our website.”
The Challenge is a simple and fun way for children and their families to keep a record of their activities and achievements. One to five stars can be earned each time a physical activity is completed or a healthy living option is chosen to complement it.
The Christmas challenge asks children to set a target of 30 stars, but they can go on to 60 or 90 stars for a tougher challenge. As well as the benefits of a healthy way of life, they can also win prizes such as signed sports goods, A-Star water bottles and wristbands.
