This new age Sports Education Company head quartered in New Delhi, has in a short span spread its integrated kids sports programs to six states – primarily Northern and Western India – due to its innovative approach. It has now tied up with a leading preschool ‘Sprouts An AG8 Preschool’ promoted by Aakriti Group of Bhopal, to implement its modified Gymnastics & Foundation Sports Skills program. The company has been working with some schools already in Madhya Pradesh, but this is their first foray into Bhopal. Ms Anshul Soni, Director, Aakriti Educare Pvt Ltd, says “Our Motto is when learning is fun growing up gets exciting. We at "Sprouts" strongly believe that the key to physical activity in early childhood is enjoyment; it is the ideal time for acquiring fundamental movement skills because it is during this unique period that children build the basic movement abilities that are the foundation for learning more complex movement skills later in life. It is recommended that children age 2 and older participate in at least one hour of physical activity every day that is developmentally-appropriate, diverse, and enjoyable. When children begin to exercise at an early age, they tend to academically perform better, have fewer behavioral and disciplinary problems, and can pay attention in class longer than their peers. We are certainly pleased to introduce kid’s gym in our school , because for a preschooler, success in any activity is simply a matter of how much fun it is Mr. Pradeep Karambelkar is the Regional Director of Sportseed , Madhya Pradesh.Mr. Sudhanshu Fadnis, Director, Sportseed, says” Our objective was to create age-appropriate and child safe programs in Gymnastics & Athletics, that could be made easily available in schools. We therefore led a focused innovation driven approach to create these programs where the equipments have been custom built by our team and are not the standard off-the-shelf kids play products available in the market.” The program in Sprouts school(Bhopal) would start from 16th June and would provide children between age 2-8 years, an opportunity to not only learn Gymnastics through specially trained faculty from Sportseed, but also understand various foundation sports skills that they may employ while playing any serious sport in later years in a perfectly child safe environment Sports like Gymnastics, Athletics and Swimming are counted as the most effective and preferred sports among students. Swimming facilities even today have limited access to children in the country, to counter balance this deficiency, Sportseed has created modified Gymnastics and Athletics programs that are easily implementable in a school environment – irrespective of the infrastructure facilities available in the school. Sportseed is promoted by Sudhanshu Fadnis, a former National Level Badminton player, who launched it about 2 years back after having held senior positions in top management consulting firms like KPMG and Ernst & Young for over a decade, to pursue his passion of promoting sports amongst children in schools. “Sportseed team has spent over a year developing such child safe equipments for these mother sports, which also had to make affordable. A typical Gymnastics set up with base minimum equipments would cost upwards of Rs. 10-20 lacs. Our team has brought down the pricing to less than 20% of this through our innovations.”, Mr. Sudhanshu Fadnis, added.
