Depending on the preferences of the school, the issuing of paperwork to parents, establishing and maintaining class registers and processing payment can all be handled by KidzGetFit
All of our instructors have a passion for the job they do. They will strive to deliver a well-structured, enjoyable lesson to the children, with the overall aim of re-enforcing old skills, developing new skills and improving fitness in a safe, fun environment
Even though full responsibility for the class may be given to one of our coaches, we are still guests within your school and will act accordingly
You should expect your given coach to be well presented wearing correct KidzGetFit uniform, punctual for the class and available to address any issues or problems you may have
All of our coaches have current full-enhanced CRB disclosure and have either a degree related to sport/health and/or minimum level 2 coaching awards
Instructors are covered by full liability insurance
Upon arrival for the first class, the instructor will introduce himself or herself to the head/sports coordinator and produce all relevant documentation. It is important that the fire procedures are outlined and a level of discipline is agreed
Wherever possible a coach will keep a register and provide lesson plans, where appropriate
Prior to the first session, a visual risk assessment will be completed by the instructor
During Curriculum time classes, the instructor will maintain discipline levels with those of the host school
Record cards may also be used to highlight progress within the class and some theory behind the principles of exercise, diet and fitness may be given
What Kidz Get Fit expects from your school:
When a KidzGetFit instructor arrives to teach a class, they expect the children to be ready and changed, in suitable PE kit, for the start of the lesson
This means that the children should have: been to the toilet, wear plimsolls or trainers, removed all jewellery and have water with them in a bottle with a sports cap
If any child has health issues, or is on medication, the coach should be notified. If the activity is outside, a jumper should be brought to maintain warmth
The School should provide well-lit clean facilities conducive for exercise
The coaches expect children to pay attention to all information given to them, both regarding health and safety issues and the activity chosen
Note please: even though many coaches have their own equipment, some items may need to be signed out of a schools sports cupboard to aid the lesson. These will be returned as soon as the class finishes
If a child is naughty, cheeky or creating disturbance within the class they will be cautioned using a warning system. The first warning is a verbal one between the coach and the child. If bad behaviour persists, a second warning will be given to the child and the school will be informed. For serious bad behaviour, a final warning will be given to the school and the school and coach will liaise
Kidz Get Fit have been working in our school for a number of years providing activities such as Tag Rugby and Cheerleading; this is both covering PPA and as after school clubs. The coaches are always professional and provide interesting activities, which keep the children focussed with an enjoyable approach. They provide all the necessary information to comply with current safeguarding procedures.
