Sports & Physical Activity

NCDUK 2020 is on Sunday May 17th and the week running up to it

Engagement in sport and physical activity is vital for children's physical and mental health, so on NCDUK we want as many children as possible to be  running, climbing, cycling, swimming, chasing, playing with balls, or simply walking in the fresh air - and, above all, having fun!
Are you a national sports organisation with clubs/groups across the country, or a small local club? Whichever it is, how about arranging a special event linked to NCDUK for your child members? If you want to think big, that's great, but small and inexpensive is good too, and we would love you to involve as many under 18s as possible. Some might even come up with ideas and be keen to help run the day.

If you're an individual, group or organisation and want to create a special day for the child/children in your life, here are some suggestions of activities you could plan:

  • A swimming gala or pool fun
  • A special tennis/badminton/squash tournament
  • Football/rugby/cricket games or skills sessions
  • A fun rounders or table tennis competition
  • An athletics day
  • An obstacle race or silly sports like egg and spoon
  • A tug of war
  • A family hike or cycle ride plus picnic
  • A visit to an adventure playground or climbing wall
  • An afternoon of silly games like welly-wanging
  • A water fight
  • Kite flying
  • Go Ape!
  • Go out on a canoe, kayak, pedalo
