Our community sports coaches are active weekly at primary schools where children can use a little extra support. They provide movement throughout the school day: from energetic games in the classroom to after-school sports in the gym. This way, physical activity becomes a natural and enjoyable part of the day.
You can just see it in them, says community sports coach Danny. They really come alive. And sometimes it’s something very simple, like a tagging game where, after being tagged, they solve a math problem. But it works. They laugh, participate, learn, and move all at the same time.
Movement Helps on All Fronts
We’ve known it for a long time: movement has an impact. Children who are physically active regularly can concentrate better, feel more confident, and simply feel better. The Dynamic School Day program is completely designed around this.
We run the program at various primary schools in Hilversum, including Violenschool, Kindercampus, Nassauschool, Lelieschool, Sterrenschool, Bloemrijk, and Titus Brandsmaschool, in collaboration with the municipality, which supports and has extended the initiative.
What We Do During a Dynamic School Day
Every school and class is different. That’s why we assess each location to see what works and where there is room for movement. Our community sports coaches offer, among other activities:
What It Delivers
Children benefit from it, both physically and emotionally. Teachers notice more calm in the classroom, parents see their child thriving, and the children themselves? They ask when the community sports coach will come again.
- More focus during lessons
- Fewer conflicts on the playground
- Increased self-confidence and enjoyment
- Better group dynamics
