Teamtheme believe
very strongly that it’s never too early
to start educating our children in nutrition,
and in an ethical approach to life in general.
In line with this philosophy, we will never be
tempted to take sponsorship monies in return
for our endorsement of products, services or
foodstuffs that we judge to be detrimental to
the health of the children in our care.
Our professional coaches will gently
and sometimes subliminally remind children that
certain foods are better for them than others,
and about the importance of ‘balance’ and
moderation in all things. The taking in of fluids
is, of course, crucial to any child or adult
partaking in regular exercise.
We feel that many well known companies, whose aim
it is to sell their products or services to children,
contradict directly with our own policy. We, as a
matter of course, reward children with personal school
equipment, clothing, sports gear and drink bottles
as another way of promoting the intake of fluids.
Parents may find this aspect of our coaching to
be as important to their children as the training
in fun and football skills. Any child can emerge
from a Teamtheme course feeling that they have improved
their knowledge of nutrition, become better footballers,
increased their circle of friends and gained in confidence
- as well as winning a prize, medal or trophy!
