So what is The Bugs Group?

The Bugs Group offers a range of sports, activities and extra curricular clubs for children from Nursery to Year 6. Sessions are delivered using imagination and themes to make it more enjoyable for children as well as enhance their learning experience.

YogaBugs is an all-inclusive and non-competitive sport that allows all children to develop emotionally and physically, gaining a positive experience of physical activity and developing mindfulness through breathing and relaxation techniques.

FootieBugs offer an all-inclusive fun introduction to football for boys and girls of all ages through storytelling and imagination themes, helping children gain social skills and confidence as well as developing their physical ability.

DanceBugs allow children to learn in a pressure free environment through fun physical activities and creative movement. Children develop not only social skills and confidence, but also develop physical abilities such as stamina, flexibility and coordination.

MultiBugs programmes combine a variety of sports that not only improve physical fitness levels, but also their emotional literacy. MultiBugs sessions can be taught through curriculum PE, targeted lunch time clubs or after school clubs.

“YogaBugs has helped improve children’s concentration because they have learnt to focus and have been taught techniques to enable them to breathe and stay calm.”
