'Supporting children and young people’s physical activity'
Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Sport and Health section provides a sports activity programme ‘Motiv8’ for pre-school, primary and lower secondary aged children. The programme sets out to offer children and young people the opportunity to develop co-ordination skills; meet up with and make new friends; and learn new sports and life skills. It is hoped the activities offered would help strengthen children’s running, jumping, co-ordination and movement skills, with an option to experience sports such as sailing, golf, basketball and athletic, and improve their skills in all sports both indoor and outdoor.
