About a Sporting Story Event

What happens at a Sporting Story event?

​

At Sporting Stories, our mission is to give as many children as possible the opportunity to be involved in sport and exercise. Sport has the ability to have such a positive influence on children's lives. It has the power to improve both physical and mental well-being, but the facts speak for themselves - children are not getting enough exercise!

Even ten minutes of physical activity per day can boost our mood, concentration levels and the happy hormone - serotonin - for a whole day! 

​

That means better learning in the classroom - which is great for teachers too. We believe all children should have the opportunity to learn how to enjoy exercise and sport, our events instill this through a trained GB athlete.  Your athlete will deliver powerful messages to keep your children moving even after the event has finished!

​

We want to make sure everyone can enjoy our events so we have created a sponsor-led model meaning the children fund-raise towards the cost of the event - so, how does ZERO COST to the school sound? There is also the opportunity to earn GB incentives like signed posters and money back for the school to spend how you want - maybe on some new sports equipment?  All children across the school - and the bravest teachers will all take part in an energetic fitness circuit or workshop - you choose! This is followed by a truly inspirational Great British Athlete telling their Sporting Story. 

​

This is a unique opportunity to increase physical activity in your school with the help of an Olympic or Commonwealth Athlete inspiring and motivating the children.

​

Get in touch if you would like to book an event - we hope to see you in school soon.

All of our athletes have an enhanced DBS check.
