The activity can be proposed during the summer period. It can be offered to sports clubs that organize their summer camp, as an optional choice for an «Innovative & intensive MultiSport course» and the families can decide whether or not they want their children to be involved.
It is basically a 4-hour activity, every day (from Monday to Friday) for 1 or 2 weeks.
The success factors of this proposal are:
The methodology of this activity is based on the combination of Sport and the Non-Formal Education.
The goal is to create an approach to sport that is less based on competition and more on the pleasure of playing, moving, being together. The multisport activity aims to give children the opportunity to discover their best talent in sports and develop transversal competences.
Sport therefore becomes a tool for developing the skills and abilities recognised as essential for shaping active adults of the society.
Besides that, within the «Innovative & intensive MultiSport course» we focused on the implementation of different sport disciplines (as basketball, football, beach volley, rugby, artistic gymnastics, athletics, dance) delivered by professional Sport instructors.
Families who choose fields that specialize in a specific sport or they may want their kids to focus on fields other than sports.
It could be difficult to find suitable structures for sports in the center where the project is decided to take place or in neighbouring areas
It could also be difficult to find sports experts/clubs of different sports available to join the project.
Once the team of experts has been formed, the project can be easily reproduced in various aggregative contexts.
This Multisport Course can also represent a new tool to diversify their ordinary activities during the summer season.
The «Innovative & intensive MultiSport course» can also become a promotional activity for the Sport Federation. They might be interested in providing sport instructors for free during the Summer Camps in order to help the children know more about sports. This can be an opportunity to promote the activity of Sport Clubs close by.
Some preparatory activities have been implemented in the previous months:
Sports instructors and physical education teachers with experience in the field of non-formal education.
Structures that host summer camps for children and teenagers, where there are playgrounds.
Sport equipment for the activities: different balls, cones, ropes, balloons, sticks, circles, bandages, mats.
Materials: T-shirts for Sport Instructors and for the participants.
The promotion of the extra multisport activity can be done among the participants of the summer camp.
Registrations can be made directly by the center that organizes the summer camp and no additional documents are required in such a case.
We communicated with the families through different channels:
The stakeholders that can be involved are:
The evaluation has been conducted in different ways:
Do you want to start a multisport program in your community?
Did you try any models and you have feedback or comments?
Do you want to suggest another multisport models?
