Introducing Legas Shinjuku's Children’s Sports Classes

Life & Sports Co., Ltd. has announced an exciting collaboration with the Shinjuku Future Creation Foundation, launching a unique sports program designed for elementary students in the Shinjuku area. This initiative, known as the Legas Shinjuku Elementary School Sports Classes, aims to provide children with enjoyable and educational physical activity opportunities throughout the community.

Background of the Initiative

In recent years, there has been growing concern regarding the decline in children’s physical activity and overall fitness levels in Japan. As the focus on school sports alone is no longer sufficient, various local organizations are stepping up to create accessible sports opportunities for children in their communities. Responding to this pressing need, the Shinjuku Future Creation Foundation is set to provide a program where local children can engage in safe and enjoyable physical activities.

Life & Sports operates a small-group sports program called Karada Kinou Sports, which emphasizes tailored instruction according to each child's developmental stage. By leveraging the expertise gained from this program, Life & Sports is dedicated to enhancing the physical opportunities available to children in the region.

Features of the Instructional Program

The new program will revolve around key elements deemed essential for children’s physical development, providing lessons that allow young participants to move their bodies in fun and engaging ways:

1. Mastering Basic Movements: The curriculum incorporates fundamental activities such as running, jumping, and throwing, which are vital for children’s growth. With these exercises, children will learn the essential ways to utilize their bodies efficiently.

2. Enhancing Coordination Skills: Through activities that focus on rhythm, balance, and reaction times, the program aims to improve the connection between the brain and body, helping children move with greater accuracy and intention.

3. Balancing Fun with Growth: By integrating games like tag into the warm-up, along with circuit training and ball exercises, the program ensures that children enjoy participating in sports while developing their physical abilities.

Example of a Lesson Structure

Each lesson lasts approximately 60 minutes and follows a structured flow:

• - Introduction: Warm-up game (like tag)
