I like this programme because the instructors are nice and it's fun to play with other children around my age that I've never met before and interacting with them while being physical. Overall, I think that the program is very exciting and calming to do with different and sports we do every week.

I think the mixture of physical activities through the program were fantastic. We had students get involved that we normally would have expected them to sit out. Very happy.
