KickIT
Kicking is an integral part of many sports. Waikato/BOP Football Federation are excited to be delivering a variety of core activities based around kicking. By their own admission the best kickers come from football, an agreement that is seconded by both Rugby Union and Rugby League. Ball manipulation as well as effective distance striking will be developed here by professional football coaches. This will develop hand-eye coordination between the feet and the brain.

LegIT
Working through a series of progressions, LegIT aims to develop effective running and jumping techniques that serve as springboards for further skill development as more core skills are adopted. The Run-Jump-Throw programme serves as the perfect programme to deliver this. This programme has been around for many years and is a big favourite among schools.

Lead It
Leadership is one of the core by-products of sport. Teachers will be provided with professional development opportunities on the core fundamental movement skills to be able to further extend their content and delivery knowledge, therefore providing leadership to their students in the area of fundamental movement skills.

SwimIT
Swim for Life, Swim to Survive, Learn to swim. All names that we hear often. Regardless of the name of the programme our safety in the water is paramount. The Bay of Plenty is surrounded by water and ensuring that our children are given the key skills to swim efficiently in our waters is vital.

BikeIT
Biking is fast becoming a movement that people are more frequent in using. With road cycling comes safety aspects as well as efficiency. Biking is one of the best “brain games” one can do as it activates both sides of the brain as well as the pre-frontal cortex. In addition to this BIKEit will ensure that BOP children are confident riders who can assess safety situations and manage the bikes correctly on the road.
