We all know the benefits of getting out and about and being more physically active, whether that\u2019s by signing up for Kingston netball lessons, kicking a ball about or simply just going for a long walk around your local area \u2013 but it seems that there are many parents out there still struggling to convince their children to step away from their computer and phone screens, and start being more active instead.<\/p>\n

Chief executive of Sport England Tim Hollingsworth has come out and said that helping parents encourage their children to be more physically active is one of his key challenges, with a new study due to be released that will examine the levels of activity among young people, the BBC reports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mr Hollingsworth explained to BBC Radio 5 live\u2019s Sportsweek programme that he too faces the same struggles as other mums and dads, as the father of two teenage boys\u2026 and he\u2019s now going to try to make sport more accessible for all.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow do you make sport more accessible? Can we make booking a sporting facility or going and finding out what’s available to you as easy as TripAdvisor makes it for hotels and restaurants?<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do have to think differently about what activity is, what exercise can be, because it’s not right to suggest that everyone has the time, the space, the opportunity, the finances to do sport in a purely traditional way,\u201d he went on to say.<\/p>\n

It seems that an increasing number of people are becoming more interested in leading an active lifestyle and getting off the sofa to move around more. Recent Sport England research<\/a> shows that nearly 300,000 more people are now enjoying 150 minutes of physical activity each week and 116,400 fewer people are now considered inactive (which means doing over 30 minutes of activity every week).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re keen to start moving about more or encouraging your kids to do the same, starting netball classes could be a really fun way to go about it. Not only your health and fitness improve, but you could make lots of new friends into the bargain.<\/p>\n

Here at Sisters n Sport<\/a>, we run a series of different programmes aimed at people of all ages so everyone can take part. If you have very little ones at home, why don\u2019t you look into your Netball Tots class, which is the perfect way to introduce your kids to this particular sport.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll teach them all the key skills involved, from throwing and catching to speed, footwork and agility through lots of fun games, as well as encouraging them to learn about teamwork and collaboration. Parent participation is also required for our preschool classes so you and your brood will have a fantastic time, learning and playing together.<\/p>\n
