Exercise Energise
Exercise Energise
The Exercise Energise programme started in ten secondary schools in September 2018. It kicked off with a multi-sport 'come and try' day held in the National Indoor Arena in Abbotstown. Over 260 girls tried out various activities such as; athletics, zumba, gymnastics, and circuit training under the guidance of accredited coaches from the National Sports Conference.
The programme is aimed at girls aged 12-15 years (1st & 2nd Year students) who are not currently involved in sport or physical activity. The activities take place during lunchtime and some after school. The girls are involved in selecting the activities with over 30 girls from each school.
The activities range from; judo, martial arts, dance, futsal, basketball, hip-hop, zumba, circuit training and modern pentathlon. Participating schools are awarded a financial contribution for taking part in the programme.
