25.01.2022 " " - Why is this something that Kids In Sport are so passionate about? Well to start with a physically active child is a healthy child.... Regular physical activity helps to strengthen a childs muscles and bones, prevents excessive weight gain, and reduces the risk of diabetes, cancer, and other conditions. But not only that, physical activity is also beneficial to the mental health of a child. Experts say being part of a team and getting involved in physical activity through sport allows children to have a better outlook on life in many ways. It helps by building confidence, managing anxiety and depression, and increasing self-esteem and cognitive skills. These are such an important part of a child's developement and gives them the skills to become a confident and productive adult. So the best part about all of this is that exercise releases endorphins. And endorphins are the main ingredient in them being a happy child. Which at the end of the day is what we all want for our kids. *.* - ? *.* Many Hands make light work So if you would like to help us help the kids you can do that by doing all or any of the following things - 1. Love/Care this post. 2. Share this post and our page. 3. Invite others to like the Kids In Sport page. 4.

24.01.2022 I have been thinking about my "what next" I am really enjoying the President role at Redlands Rugby League Club and want to continue helping kids in sport. I am currently setting up a not-for-profit organisation to assist with club fee's and getting disadvantaged and indigenous kids involved in sport, even when the odds are stacked against them. I have seen first hand that there are other families all chipping in to help other kids play sport and be involved with their mates.... This is both heartwarming and heartbreaking to see, without the help from these other families some kids just won't be able to play the sport they love. It made me wonder how many kids don't get to be involved because there parents can't afford the costs in playing their sport. I want to create an avenue to help, so I am Launching my "Kids In Sport" program. This will be something for all sports, not just Rugby League. Helping a whole range of people that just need a hand. A sport can be the reason for some kids staying out of trouble or the saving grace needed from a difficult home life. I have set this GoFundMe up to assist with the cost of setting up and registering this business as a not-for-profit Incorporation and other set up costs that come along with it. I'm not asking for Millions, just a little hand now to change the future of many later! Please help me reach my goal and follow my journey! Cheers Todd Flahey! gf.me/u/xy3trs

24.01.2022 1 IN 6 KIDS LIVE IN POVERTY In Australia today, The Lucky Country, 1 in 6 children are living below the poverty line. So putting that into perspective, if you were in a team of 12 kids then two of those children would more than likely come from a home where they are struggling. ... They could be struggling financially, emotionally, physically or even struggling to have their basic needs met. So for these children joining a sporting club is something that may not be possible for them. Their parents may not be able to afford the fees for many different reasons and circumstances. This is where Kids In Sport comes in. We are committed to helping as many children as we can be part of a team. Its been proven time and time again that sport has helped so many with their self-esteem, confidence and mindset. This in turn helps them get out of what can be a revolving door of poverty. Many times sport has been instrumental in helping kids stay out of trouble, achieve something, learn discipline, self worth and help them feel supported. Please help us help these kids. Any donation you make, can make a difference to so many children. To give them something in their lives that may help lift them out of the situation that they are currently in. Help them to think differently. Help them to learn focus and direction. And give them a different path in life. But you can help. By simply sharing this post, loving this post, inviting friends to like our page or donating what you can you can make a difference. Because at Kids In Sport, we truly believe that every kid should be part of the team. #kidsinsport #bepartofateam #supportthekids To donate click here - https://www.gofundme.com/f/kids-in-sport-start-up-funding Reference - https://www.sbs.com.au//one-in-eight-australian-adults-one

21.01.2022 Sport is back! Last night my club has its first training session back since Covid put our season on hold. We put a massive amount of effort in behind the scenes to get the kids back out there safely and training as soon as possible. Every single bit of time and effort was 100% worth it! The pure joy and excitement on the kids faces because they were back training with their mates, All worth it! ... I cant wait to get Kids In Sport fully functioning and funding kids so the kids that cant currently play feel the same feeling! We arent too far away! We have just applied to become an Incorporated Entity so we can be a fully Tax Deductible Charity and be able to apply for grants. Kids in Sport is going to be something very special that delivers opportunity to kids that need it most! Cheers Todd Flahey - Founder Kids In Sport

15.01.2022 Its that time of year again How will you stay warm and dry while cheering for your team on the sidelines?

14.01.2022 IS THERE A CONNECTION TO SPORT AND PERFORMANCE AT SCHOOL You bet there is It has been scientifically proven time and time again that physical exercise has been very much connected with mental acuity. ... Which pretty much means that engaging in regular exercise gets the brain working better THE SCIENTIFIC STUFF In his book Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain, John J. Ratey (a Harvard University psychiatrist) describes taking MRI scans of the brains of sedentary people who have suddenly improved their fitness and increased volume in the hippocampus and frontal and temporal lobes, the regions of the brain associated with cognitive functioning. Just like the picture below The BBC (British Broadcasting Corporation) also did a university study on about 5000 children and adolescents. This study found definite links between exercise and exam success in English, mathematics and science and discovered an increase in performance for every extra 17 minutes boys exercised, and 12 minutes for girls. The study was carried out by the universities of Strathclyde and Dundee, and found physical activity particularly beneficial to girls performance at science; the authors said this could be a chance finding or reflect gender differences in the impact of physical activity on the brain. Overall, though, children who carried out regular exercise, not only did better academically at 11 but also at 13 and in their exams at 16, the study suggested. Dr Josie Booth of Dundee University in the UK, one of the leaders of the British study, said physical activity is more than just important for your physical health. There are so many benefits of getting kids involved in sport and physical activity. That is why we at Kids In Sport believe that every child should be part of a team.

12.01.2022 What do you look for in a sporting club for your child? Why is it so important?What do you look for in a sporting club for your child? Why is it so important?

12.01.2022 WHY IS SPORT SO IMPORTANT? Sport isnt just good for childrens bodies; its good for their minds too. Studies have shown that sport has psychological benefits for children and adolescents and teaches them important life skills. DEVELOPMENTAL BENEFITS... Development from sport goes beyond learning new physical skills. Sport helps children develop better ways to cope with the highs and lows of life. EMOTIONAL BENEFITS Physical activity has been shown to stimulate chemicals in the brain that make you feel better. So playing sport regularly improves childrens overall emotional wellbeing. SOCIAL BENEFITS Playing in a team helps children to develop many of the social skills they will need for life. It teaches them to cooperate, to be less selfish, and to listen to other children. It also gives children a sense of belonging. It helps them make new friends and builds their social circle outside school. We believe every child should have the opportunity should be part of a team! Please help us by sharing, liking, inviting friends or donating to our very worthy cause.
