What happens at AllSorts?
AllSorts sessions normally begin with a game of Duck Duck Goose or other warm up for participants and Session Buddies.
Participants who would benefit are paired one-to-one with a Session Buddy or in small groups. Our Session Buddies are participants too!
After a warm up, participants split into smaller groups.
These groups rotate around the different activities on offer that session (normally three different sports), which generally change each week.
Halfway through the session we have a water break, and it is KEEN tradition to always end the session with a warm down together.
“KEEN gives Ellie the chance to participate in sports without being the odd one out. This has helped her self-confidence and she loves to talk about the different sports she has done.”
What are the benefits?
The activities at AllSorts promote co-ordination, concentration, mobility, body awareness and fitness. Athletes have the opportunity to learn new skills and have fun in a relaxed, supportive and non-competitive environment, just as their peers would.
These effects can have huge positive changes in health, quality of life and self-esteem, promoting new friendships and a sense of accomplishment.
