Sports Council Wales 5x60
This is a Sports Council for Wales campaign, aimed at helping reach the Welsh Assembly Government target of 90% secondary school age children achieving 60 minutes of exercise, 5 days per week. After the success of the initial pilots, the Welsh Assembly Government plans to invest around £7.6 million into the scheme, aiming for every Welsh Secondary school to be involved by 2009.
5x60 Officers, based at secondary schools, consult with pupils about their activity needs and barriers that prevent them from participating in activity. From this consultation a timetable of activities before school, at lunchtime, or after school is developed. The programme targets individuals who do not currently participate in physical activity, or who are in danger of losing interest.
For more information please visit the dedicated 5x60 website, at www.5x60.org.uk and the 5x60 pages of the Sports Council for Wales Website.
