WELCOME TO KIDS SPORTS

Kids Sports is an inclusive, non-competitive, community-building program, delivering fun, vigorous, physical activities for children and their families across Queensland.  Kids Sports chooses to only employ fully trained and Qld registered Early Childhood, PE, or Primary School Teachers (and in some cases High School Teachers for programs with teenagers).

Kids Sports’ Teachers:

• have a passion for teaching children and young people.
• know how to manage children’s behaviour in a positive manner so that everyone stays safe and enjoys the session.
• display fair and equal treatment of all children regardless of race, culture, religion, gender, disability, physical/sporting ability, fitness level and body shape.
• are committed to the physical and mental health and well-being of children and their families, and provide a good role-model in this regard.
• display patience and empathy, understanding that no two children are alike, respecting their diversity, and the social and cultural diversity of their families.
• have the ability to relate to parents and the general public in a positive and encouraging way, connecting people together in community.
• have Senior First Aid Certification and keep current yearly CPR updates

 “Teachers play a vital role in society. In today’s increasingly complex, multicultural and technological world, teachers make significant differences to the lives of those they teach - through the program or curriculum they teach, through their personal attributes and through their relationships with their students. “   The Queensland College of Teachers website 2008

Children do not need to have any sporting skills or abilities to participate in a Kids Sports session

Kids Sports works in partnership with funding bodies; government and philanthropic, so that programs are FREE to users. We use bright, fun resources to increase the motivation for participation.  If you are a school or community organisation looking for FREE programs, click on the partnerships section of this site.
