All about the Gumnut Kids Sports Adventure (5 – 10 y/o) Round 2.
Watch your Little ones run, skip and jump around learning new skills, new sports, and making new friends. At this age an emphasis is placed on both movement skills and introductory sporting skills such as:
- balancing
- jumping
- hopping
- running
- catching
- throwing
- kicking
- batting
Each week we rotate through a different sport with an emphasis on fun, play and learning including a weekly focus on social skills. Places are limited with a maximum group of 10 Gumnuts per lesson. You can sign up for all 6 weeks or feel free to drop in and out of each individual session as desired by booking one lesson at a time.
The tour package inclusions and exclusions at a glance
What is included in this tour?Items that are included in the cost of tour price.
An experienced sports coach will guide your little one through a 45min lesson plan (1 hour in total including starts and finishes). Meeting up and signing in at the Artsportive Hub (aka the office) the group will first acquaint themselves with the other “team’ members before heading over to the Chidlow Village Green. At a designated point a sports field will be marked out with cones and various drill activities. All relevant sports equipment (bats, balls, goals etc) will be supplied.
What is not included in this tour?Items that are not included in the cost of tour price.
We don’t supply the children, you need to bring your own. We don’t supply food or water so please feed any hangry monsters and bring along a water bottle (preferably filled with water and not red cordial – oh yes you know exactly why). While we’re talking about water or more to the point what the human body does with the water, please take them to the toilet prior to their arrival. Yes, we know they have a bladder the size of a small bird but please do your best and public toilets are available in the park. Please also ensure your mini me is appropriately dressed for the weather and wearing active footwear. Yes, we understand when Susie refuses to wear any other shoes but her Peppa the Pig mini gumboots (exceptions on ‘active’ footwear can be granted) however ‘no shoes’ is an absolute deal breaker. We will be walking from the office, through the carpark and across the road. Transport will not be provided, neither will road closures. You will be solely responsible for escorting your child to the designated meeting point. You will also be responsible for making good parental decision making and supervision to determine when you may or may not need to intervene with your child’s behaviour during the lesson. Parents are invited to intervene as they may see fit and respect that the Coach must always act in the best interest of the group as a whole. Basically, if your little Johnny decides to go chase one of the local rabbits off into the bushland then it is not in the best interests of the group for the Coach to go chase Johnnie (that will be your job).
Preferably not thongs (aka flip flops), sandals, gumboots, ugg boots or anything with buckles.
Preferably something with a sole, if laces then with laces tied up and likely to stay tied up and something easy to run, skip, hop and jump in without shoes becoming flying objects.
Speciality sports shoes (cleats, studs etc) are not necessary but if already owned and likely to result in a tantrum if not allowed to be worn AND the designated sport of the day is a cleat wearing sport then bring them along. If it is not a shoe designed for the designated sport then tantrums aside they should not be worn.
Underpants is always a good start, capes are entirely optional but with this age group highly likely. Face masks preferably left at home, glitter is good, too much jewellery is not and name tags on everything is much appreciated.
In general comfortable athletic attire is the key, no you do not need to buy any specific type of sports uniform but dress ups when demanded by tantrums is completely understandable.
Something warm in winter but easily removed if running around and getting hot (think dressing in layers). Long sleeves, long pants or track suits.
Something cool in summer with breathable fabric. Slip, slop, slap.
Usually kids don’t care but grumpy parents do — so, if it’s raining, bring an umbrella and rain coat because the rest of us will probably go jumping in the puddles having fun. Pack the kids some spare clothes, spare shoes and a towel. If lightning or hail is forecast in the area then we will not be venturing outside.
In summer, depending on the heat, our Coaches modify the lesson plan to reduce the level of activity and increase rest periods. If it’s above 38 degrees with no wind then we will not continue with outdoor activities.
No! At least one parent guardian per child (or sibling pairs) must be available for onsite supervision and on escort duty for moving to/from the Hub (office) and to/from the outdoor site. Aside from the fact that your children are too precious to be left alone the greatest gift you can give to a child is your time. So maybe grab a take away coffee on the way, stay on the sidelines, chill-out, and just enjoy being in the present moment and watching your kid having some fun.
