MUMBAI: Sportz Village, India’s largest youth sports platform, has developed a special program called Active Club for children between the ages of 4 to 19 years.
Through this engaging fitness and skill-based program, Sportz Village aims to keep children physically active in the comfort of their own homes and nurture their sports journey. The Active Club program has garnered the trust of more than 1,200 parents in a short span of time.
With schools being closed for an extended period, a shift has been observed from offline to online space as far as academics is concerned. However, the same transition has been slower with regards to sports and physical education for children. The Active club program intends to bridge this gap and include sports and fitness as a part of a child’s daily routine. The instructor-led program revolves around getting children and parents to subscribe to different online training modules wherein certified trainers would train the children on various age-appropriate, sports-specific and fitness activities.
John Gloster, who has been associated with international cricket for the last 22 years, most notably as physiotherapist to the Indian cricket team from 2004-2008, and Saumil Majmudar, co-founder, CEO and managing director, Sportz Village, have been instrumental in developing the Active Club program.
Speaking about the Active Club program, Majmudar said, “We aim to revolutionize the way fitness and sports can be implemented in a child’s routine. With children spending most of their time in front of the screens, it is important to make sure that they utilize their screen time productively. Children’s health and fitness have always been a prime focus for us, and we have ensured that the best set of fitness experts and trainers are involved so that a child can engage with as well as enjoy the sessions. Our objective is to motivate the children to stay fit and active COVID or No COVID.”
