Empowering young people through sport
Skillabus is all about developing the sports skills of children aged 5-11. There are three main programmes: PE Challenges, Football's Coming Home and Flipping Fantastic.
Footballs coming home
Time with the ball, practising first touch, shooting, passing, volleying and more, is essential to building football skills. But how do you keep it fun and interesting? The answer: practice one of our challenges a few times a week, then move on to the next one. Watch those skills grow!
Flipping fantastic
Flipping Fantastic is an exciting programme that includes three courses and features over 60 different bottle flip challenges, from beginner to completely insane, providing everyone in your family with many hours of engaging and entertaining fun together.
PE challenges
PE Challenges is an innovative way to complement PE teaching in primary schools: 200+ challenges in 10 different sports that progress from easy to extremely difficult encouraging the whole family to get involved.
