Join the team
Created by England Athletics, the funetics programme provides trackable physical literacy sessions to help children learn, develop and practice running, jumping and throwing within primary schools, sports clubs and community locations with full support and training.
Our vision is for every primary school aged child in the country to be able to access funetics sessions to learn the fundamental movement skills of running, throwing and jumping via a comprehensive and inclusive course which reflects the requirements of the National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2.
And this opportunity is about you delivering funetics and in doing so helping children to have fun whilst getting active, in a safe, fun and nurturing environment where the children can develop movement skills and physical confidence to help support them in different sports in the future.
England Athletics’ specialist funetics coaching courses will enable your DBS checked coaching team to confidently approach local schools and community organisations to market this new opportunity for primary schools from as early as September 2019.
A funetics school licence will enable your company to deliver funetics sessions as part of breakfast clubs, curriculum lessons or after school clubs.
"The beauty of funetics is that it builds on the fun, age-appropriate and progressive principles of the funetics competency framework. It makes it easier to engage with parents too by giving them direct visibility of their child’s performance via the parents’ app. It will also help us with less experienced coaches, giving them support at each stage of delivering quality sessions."
