Active Schools

At Live Active, our Active Schools program helps children stay fit, healthy, and engaged through sports, fitness, and other activities.

We believe every child deserves the chance to enjoy an active lifestyle, develop new skills, and build lifelong healthy habits.

Active Schools

What is Active Schools?

Our Perth and Kinross Active Schools team works with schools to help provide opportunities for children and young people to get involved in sport and physical activity.

The team supports primary and secondary schools to increase the number and diversity of children participating in extracurricular sport and physical activity. We work with a range of partners to help children and young people access opportunities that will contribute positively to their health and wellbeing.

Our experienced coaches and volunteers create an inclusive, supportive environment. No matter their skill level, every child can join in, have fun, and feel a sense of achievement.

LEAD Sport

Leadership, employability, and development (LEAD) opportunities for young people in Perth and Kinross.

The LEAD Sport programmes are delivered in collaboration between Active Schools, Sports Development, Perth College, community clubs and schools. They are designed to help young people:

  • Develop the skills needed to become successful leaders in sport, school, further education, and work.
  • Gain nationally recognised qualifications and skills for work. Young people will have the opportunity to increase their educational achievement and boost their CV.
  • Develop confidence in their own ability to lead sport. Young people will be given individually tailored experiences and mentoring within schools, clubs, and Live Active facilities.

Pathways include:

  • Introduction to Coaching
  • Activate
  • Aspiring Coaches
  • College Community Coaches
  • Young People Sports Panel
  • Modern Apprenticeships
  • Young Ambassadors

LEAD Sport helps young people grow, lead, and succeed, on and off the field.

Active School: Volunteering

Our Active Schools program wouldn’t be possible without the help of passionate volunteers. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or sports enthusiast, volunteering is a fantastic way to support children in your local community.

Volunteers assist with coaching, organising activities, and encouraging kids to stay motivated. We provide full training and support to ensure you feel confident in your role. By volunteering, you’ll make a real difference in children’s lives — helping them stay active and develop positive attitudes towards fitness.

If you’re enthusiastic about promoting physical activity and love working with kids, we’d love to hear from you.
