Active Recovery Hub
A new Active Recovery Hub is launching to provide schools, local authorities, and families with easy access to free resources to get children moving before, during and after the school day.
The Youth Sport Trust and Sport England have led the creation of the Active Recovery Hub with the support of funding from the National Lottery.
This follows a commitment in the Government’s School Sport and Activity Action Plan to extend the School Games website to help teachers and parents find opportunities for young people to compete and get active.
The hub has hundreds of resources available on it to help all children achieve the Chief Medical Officer’s recommendation of an average of 60 active minutes a day. Examples of what it includes are:
- A Tokyo Ten virtual active breaktime, 10 minutes of activity to get moving by Travel to Tokyo
- Mini-games resources, designed by charity Sense to help disabled people to be more active
- A virtual 30-minute YST After School Sport Club. With hosts including England footballer Rachel Yankey and England netballer Sasha Corbin
- Move Crew, designed by ukactive Kids and Nike to help young people unlock their 60 minutes of daily recommended activity with activity missions
- Introductory package to orienteering activities

My sole purpose is to promote sport and exercise to children and young adults, through fun and inclusive practices, activities, festivals and events. I am extremely passionate about the values we promote. I strongly believe that the SGO network can provide a more inclusive variety of opportunties, whilst supplying pupils with pathways to progress outside of school. I am looking forward to supporting the development of pupils all-round sporting skillset, knowledge, confidence and enjoyment in physical activity. Helping to motivate and improve resilience, teamwork, friendships, mental health, community spirit and all round fitness.
