Watching sports is a brilliant way of inspiring kids to get out and get active. Lots of us got involved with Joe Wicks and other fitness channels during Covid lockdown and they are still a brilliant resource for rainy days and getting kids moving at home.
This week we have focussed more on a range of different sports channels that are motivating and inspiring and provide hours of entertainment/tutorials/techniques.
