Many parents are currently facing the major challenge of working from home while also helping their children with schoolwork. Combining work with keeping the children occupied is mentally and physically challenging for everyone. Children are currently missing their daily dose of exercise. They are missing not only school, but also physical education classes at school. In addition, they are missing enjoyable, relaxing activities such as playing sports at their sports club, scouting, playing with friends, etc. That is why this package is available to all children who are currently at home.
Discovering different sports
Over the coming weeks, all the children can discover different sports, right in the living room. Every ‘school’ day, they will virtually meet an Olympic athlete at https://www.teamnl.org/fitmetteamnl-kids. On 1 April, they started with short-track speed skater Yara van Kerkhof. Every day, the athletes challenge the children to become a little better, just as they try to do as Olympic athletes. The package on the website https://www.teamnl.org/fitmetteamnl-kids consists of training sessions led by athletes, quiz questions, and drawings and cards that can be sent to grandparents.
