About 5 x 60

5 x 60 is a national physical activity programme designed and promoted by the Sports Council for Wales, in partnership with local education authorities across Wales.

The programme aims to create opportunities for young people of secondary school age to engage regularly, in sport or physical activities.

The programme aims to achieve the Welsh Assembly Governments’ target that 90% of all young people in Wales will participate regularly and frequently in physical activity.

5 x 60 – get with it – encourages young people who do not currently participate in regular physical activity.  To do this, the programme offers a mixture of

1.    Competitive sporting opportunities – for example, lunch time football or netball league; intra school or inter school matches

2.    Recreation and informal sporting opportunities – for example, walking, Frisbee, cheer leading, swimming, aerobics, street dance, Boxercise

3.    Coached activities – for example, tennis, badminton, table tennis

4.    Activities in the outdoors – for example – surfing, mountain walking, orienteering, cycling

These activities will take place on and off school sites, before school, at breaks, lunch times and after school.  They will be lead by teachers, coaches, young people who are sport leaders and other deliverers.  The programme is co-ordinated by 5 x 60 officer, Mr Lyn Brodrick attached to the school

5 x 60 is for ALL young people, whatever their ability or disability

5 x 60 will offer these young people:

-        A fun, safe environment in which they can achieve success at their own level and pace

-        A young person centred approach

-        Motivation to enjoy taking part, without judgement about ability

-        Recognition for their achievement and encouragement to progress to regular and frequent physical activity
