Australian Open 2017

18 January, 2017

Day 3 of the Australian Open 2017 and everyone around Melbourne and the world are picking up racquets and getting out onto the court. We are so lucky here in Australia that we have a great summer break to enjoy our sport, family & friends over December & January. In just over 3 weeks the term will be re commencing and we can't wait to kick off and get back into the ANZ Tennis Hotshots program. We run the program at schools around Melbourne in the areas of Parkdale, Mentone, Edithvale, Mordialloc, South Oakleigh, Glen Huntly, Caulfield South, Hawthorn & Middle Park. This year we will be focusing our tennis program on really getting all students to be able to rally, score and participate with other students. We can't wait to see everyone again in 2017, if you haven't already signed up for a program, see the link below: www.fitforkidsco.com.au/enrol/ Kids | Sport | Health | Fitness | Wellness Tennis | Soccer | Golf | Yoga | Mindfulness | Basketball | Netball | Cricket | Coaching | Birthday Parties | Incursions | Melbourne | Bayside | Mornington |

Keeping Active over Summer!

10 January, 2017

Keeping active in the holidays is easy with kids. Not only does this help them but as a parent, you can keep active by chasing them, running with them & playing sport.

Here are some activities we think are a good idea for this summer.

1. Tennis. It's all over the television and is a summer sport, so why not get out and have a hit with the kids this summer. You can easily make a court with rope a few racquets and a ball.

2. Cricket. Can be played both at the beach and in the backyard or park, cricket is the ultimate summer activity.

3. Frisbee. Active healthy & fun! Who doesn't love a little frisbee. This is another one that can be played anywhere!

4. Evening / Morning walks or run. A great way to spend time with friends and family whilst getting a little exercise is to go on a morning walk or jog. It's a great way to stay fit whilst being social.

5. Yoga. A great activity with free time and it can be done with both kids and adults. With the modern world moving so fast, the benefits help both children and adults.

We hope you are all keeping fit and healthy these school holidays!

Holiday Rest & Re-Energise!

19 December, 2016

With the holiday period set to kick off in the next week, we thought it was a great time to not only reflect on all of the wonderful activity from the year, but to focus ahead on taking some time out to rest, recover and re charge for 2017.

With the constant noise of technology, phones and modern day stress, modern children and parents have never needed to switch off more. These daily stresses can cause the body to tire, they can curb creativity and can affect mood. We are encouraging everyone this holiday period to try and practice putting away the phone and getting out into nature, the beach, the hills, where ever you can to just 'be'.

Having a month or longer before school returns, there is no reason not to re charge and re energize by getting outside with friends and family and letting yourself re charge.

Put away the ipad, grab a ball and get out there!

We cant wait to do it ourselves and return hungrier, happier and even more active in 2017!

Happy Holidays everyone.

Girls kicking goals in Australian Sport

25 November, 2016

Go Girls!

In recent years, many of the Australian sporting bodies have begun to give the proper attention to female participation and engagement in our national sports. Cricket, Tennis & now AFL have all created amazing pathways to get more girls playing more often, and we think this is just great!

Female participation now makes up for 27% of all AFL players within Australia according to the AFL. It is so great that from 2017, Women will have their own AFL national competition and broadcasting.

The AFL have clearly identified that increasing inclusion and participation within the sport is positive for so many reasons, from our point of view its simply that the more people that can get out and active the better, period.

Having new role models for girls on the field will encourage more females to get out and have a go at kicking the footy, and this is just great for Australia. Well done to the AFL for taking on the female league in 2017.

We hope to continue to see more girls playing more often and encourage all parents to take a look at some of these new sports avialable to your kids!
