Local Opportunities to be active
As teens get older and more independent, staying active is not always easy. Teenagers should aim to do at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity every day. Try to consider ways to incorporate more activity into the day or week.
Active Kids Vouchers
Active Kids Vouchers are a great way to reduce the cost of participating in both traditional and non-traditional sports and physical activity. School children between the ages of 4.5 and 18 years can apply for two $100 vouchers to use with a registered Active Kids Provider – see the website for a list of providers near you. Just enter the voucher number when registering online or take a printed copy to the provider when signing up. If you need help signing up, call 13 77 88 or contact us.
