According to recent statistics provided by the Australian Sports Comission up to 80% of young people arent getting 'enough' excercise. In a country such as Australia with our climate, culture and funding this is simply unacceptable. We need to be encouraging all young people to get out and have a good go of any kid of physical activity, it really doesnt matter what the sport or exercise. 

Its important that parents are setting the example for their kids as they are going to be the overarching influence on their behaviour. Schools can also encourage this by enrolling in the free funding provided by the ASC through the Sporting Schools inititative.
