What is a sports after school care?
A sports after school care is an after school program where sports and physical activity are central, with sports facilities such as an athletics track or soccer field. In addition to activities like arts and crafts, theater, and experiments, children can choose to participate in sports every day. For example, football, tennis, or dance. This way, they can decide whether they want to play sports or do another activity. It’s an active way to spend time after school, supervised by enthusiastic pedagogical staff who love sports. Perfect for children who still have plenty of energy after school!
