Is your child sorted for PE and after-school sports this year?

The return to school is rarely a child’s favourite time of year, so get them excited by talking about new sports they’d like to do once classes are over. A new term usually means a chance to sign up to new after-school activities and this will give them something positive to think about when they are struggling to get out of bed each morning.

But first…the PE gear

Before you even think about extra-curricular sports, make sure they’re kitted out for their compulsory PE classes. Many schools have their own standard school tracksuit, so check to see if this still fits your child or if they need new polo shirts.

If your child can wear general sports gear, Life Style Sports is having a great back-to-school sale with up to 30% off Back to School Essentials. Deals include older boys Nike Fly Woven Shorts from €12 in a choice of colours and the Nike Miller T-Shirt for older girls in vibrant pink with grey detail on the sleeves. (€20).
