Foundations Sport Coaching

Created by England Athletics

Funetics is a new and exciting programme, which aims to provide fun athletics sessions to help 4-11 year old children learn, develop and practice running, jumping and throwing all year round.

The content of the funetics programme has been devised so that these young children enjoy fun physical literacy sessions whilst developing their movement skills and confidence.

What is funetics?

Developed for all children aged 4-11 years, funetics reflects the requirements of the National Curriculum Key Stage 1 and 2 to inspire all young pupils to succeed and excel in competitive sport and other physically demanding activities.

England Athletics’ vision is for every primary school aged child in the country to be able to access funetics sessions to learn the fundamental movement skills of running, throwing and jumping via a trackable physical literacy-based course. 

Our guiding principles for funetics are:

• Safe – all activities will be delivered with safety as a first priority
• Encouraging – children will always be encouraged for their effort
• Rewarding – we recognise and celebrate children who demonstrate both physical skills and softer skills such as team work, punctuality and determination
• Developmental – we deliver age-appropriate sessions that allow children to learn at their own pace
• Child-centred – we always put the child at the heart of our programme development and delivery

At Foundations Sports Coaching we are passionate about delivering  quality, child centred sessions to aid with your childs physical, emotional and social development.
