The Fyffes Fit Squad is returning following a two-year break during Covid with live school visits commencing in September 2022. Originally conceived as a means of introducing children to the importance of physical exercise and healthy eating, the upcoming schedule will see some 7,500 pupils from schools throughout Ireland, North and South, participate in an interactive Fit Squad session between September and March next year.
Delivered by Irish health and fitness experts, Tom Dalton and Sarah Ryan and carried out under the eye of teachers present, each 45-minute session includes an active workout plus talks and tips on healthy eating, all designed to improve children’s general fitness through engaging and fun-filled activities.
Prior to going online when schools were forced to close, the multi-award-winning children’s fitness programme has been introduced to over 20,000 pupils in a countrywide series of school visits since its launch just four years ago.
